N523CB

This entry covers airframe N523CB, a Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 built in 2006 with serial number 525B0078. The aircraft is registered in the US and is listed as a fixed-wing multi-engine type; detailed public records on past owners and specific operator home base are not published for this airframe. Registry activity and ownership history beyond construction and current registration are not published, and the listed market valuation for this individual CJ3 is $4,450,000, reflecting its age and typical configuration. No notable incidents or transfers are recorded in the provided data set; any significant historical events would be italicized if documented.

The airframe is outfitted in a typical executive configuration accommodating 6–8 passengers with center club seating, additional belted seats, an enclosed lavatory and an external baggage compartment, consistent with common CJ3 cabin layouts. Avionics are reported as Collins Pro Line 21 (most early CJ3s) / proline variants reported in listings, indicating a legacy Pro Line suite or closely related variant used for this serial range. Operationally, the CJ3 mission profile for N523CB would encompass short- to mid-range corporate and charter flights up to its published 2,040 nm range and high-speed cruise of 416 kts, and typical use would include single-leg corporate hops and regional point-to-point charters. Maintenance considerations align with Williams FJ44-3A engine support and Pro Line avionics lifecycle items; specific maintenance records for this airframe are not published.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-business-jet segment, offering turbofan efficiency, transcontinental short-range capability and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its era include other light jets optimized for low operating costs and speed; the CJ3’s Williams FJ44 series engines and Pro Line avionics are recognized for reliability. Buyer and charter demand for a 2006 CJ3 in this configuration typically balances acquisition cost against refurbishment needs; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine cycles, avionics upgrades (many early CJ3s retain Pro Line 21), and cabin condition, all factors reflected in the $4,450,000 valuation for this specific airframe.
