N460WS

This entry covers airframe N460WS, a 2024-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) bearing serial number 525B0727. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. and is owned by WS AVIATION LLC of Alpine, UT, which operates the jet under United States registration. The airframe’s relatively recent build year and production-series serial place it among late-production CJ3+ examples; no additional registry transfers or notable actions beyond the initial ownership listing are recorded in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.

The local operator, WS AVIATION LLC, is based in Alpine, UT and positions N460WS for typical light-cabin business missions consistent with CJ3+ capability: short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter within the continental United States. The cabin is fitted in a typical 6–8 passenger executive layout with a forward refreshment center, a mid‑cabin club seating arrangement, two aft seats and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting executive transits and regional shuttle profiles. Avionics are the production-standard Garmin G3000 fit typical of CJ3+ examples, enabling modern flight-deck functionality for single- or two-pilot operations and facilitating access to high-frequency business routes and performance-sensitive airports. The twin Williams FJ44-3A engines emphasize efficiency and lower thrust-specific fuel consumption, simplifying day-to-day maintenance compared with older-generation powerplants while supporting high utilization patterns.

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) sits in the light business jet niche, offering a blend of runway performance, single-pilot certification potential, and transcontinental short-range flexibility with its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed. Competing models in this segment include later-model Embraer Phenom 300 variants and legacy light jets with similar cabin capacities. For buyers and operators, the CJ3+’s modern avionics and efficient FJ44 engines favor strong charter demand and straightforward maintenance tracking, while resale value typically reflects avionics and engine program status as well as time since build — in this case, the 2024 build date supports a relatively current market position.
