N523TA

The airframe N523TA is a 2009-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0300, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.). The aircraft is registered in the US and is registered to Air Boxwood LLC, an LLC based in Richmond, VA, US. It is configured and operated as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and is commonly listed at an estimated value of $4,500,000 in current market summaries. No public record of significant incident history is included in the provided data.

The cabin of N523TA follows the typical 6–8 executive club layout with a belted aft lavatory and an optional belted lav seat, combining forward-facing and club seating for business or small-group charter missions. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which is standard for many CJ3s; some CJ3+ airframes are later converted to Garmin G3000, but this specific airframe is noted with the Pro Line 21 fit. Typical missions for this airframe profile include short- to mid-range business travel, direct regional hops, and on-demand charter runs, taking advantage of its cruise speed and range. Based at the owner’s home region of Richmond, VA, the aircraft’s maintenance considerations align with light business jet scheduling and engine-support requirements for the Williams FJ44-3A powerplant.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level long-range light jet niche, offering efficient twin-engine performance, a high single-flight ceiling, and seating for eight in executive configurations. Competing models include other light-cabin business jets with similar mission capabilities; buyer and charter demand typically favor low-hour, well-documented CJ3s with modern avionics and good engine program status. From a resale and maintenance perspective, examples like N523TA are evaluated on engine times, avionics pedigree, and interior condition; Pro Line 21-equipped CJ3s have known upgrade pathways (for example, avionics retrofits to Garmin G3000) that can materially affect marketability and retained value.
