N523DV

The airframe bearing tail number N523DV is a 2014-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with manufacturer serial 525B0415. The aircraft is owned by PACIFIC CATARACT & LASER INSTITUTE INC P C, a corporation based in Chehalis, Washington, and is registered in the US. It appears on the US registry in corporate ownership, reflecting non-commercial institutional operation rather than large-scale charter use. As of the provided valuation the airframe is estimated at $5,600,000, a figure that situates this specific CJ3 within the upper-moderate segment of pre-owned light-cabin business jets for its vintage and equipment level.

This airframe is outfitted with a typical executive cabin for the CJ3 series, a 6–8-place configuration ordinarily arranged as a center club with a forward refreshment area and with a belted lavatory option available in many CJ3 interiors. Avionics fit for the series is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, providing integrated flight management, navigation, and communications suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operation. Typical missions for this registration profile would include regional corporate shuttle flights, medical or specialist-institute travel, and point-to-point transportation within the continental United States from its Chehalis, WA base. Maintenance considerations reflect two Williams FJ44-3A engines and the CJ3 systems common to the fleet, with ramp and engine support consistent with light-cabin business jets.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-twin turbojet niche, offering a balance of short-field capability, fast cruise (around 416 kts), and transcontinental range in the 2,000+ nm class. Competitors historically include the Embraer Phenom 300 and other light jets; the CJ3’s strengths are its established support network through Textron Aviation and proven Williams FJ44 powerplants. For buyers and corporate operators, considerations include hours and cycles on the engines and airframe, avionics upgrades such as Pro Line 21 life-cycle status, and resale value tied to configuration and maintenance records for a 2014 serial 525B0415 airframe.
