N525B

The airframe registered as N525B is a 2004-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0010. The airframe is recorded as owned by 525 AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, which is the primary registered owner on public records. The CJ3 has been marketed in charter listings with a reported 6–7 passenger configuration and is valued in public-market estimates at $4,500,000, reflecting typical mid-life resale pricing for this model. There are no additional operator transfers or major registry actions published in the supplied data beyond the current corporate ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin for N525B is reported in charter listings as a 6–7 place executive club-style layout, consistent with typical CJ3 interior arrangements, although the FAA primary record does not confirm a specific interior modification log. Public listings indicate Collins-series avionics (ADC-3000, AHC-3000, ALT-4000 are reported), but the exact installed suite on this airframe is not confirmed in primary FAA documentation. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short-to-medium range corporate and on-demand charter flights within a roughly 2,040 nm ferry radius and cruise operations near 416 kts at flight levels up to its 45,000 ft service ceiling. As a corporate-owned CJ3, maintenance considerations follow common CJ3 schedules for Williams FJ44-3A engines and airframe inspections under U.S. registry requirements.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies a light-cabin, light-twin turbofan niche, offering higher speed and range than earliest CitationJets while retaining single-pilot capability in many operator configurations. Competing models in its class include the Embraer Phenom 300 and older Learjet variants, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating economics, cabin comfort for 6–8 passengers, and dispatch reliability. For resale and maintenance, the presence of Williams FJ44-3A engines and Collins-series avionics reported in listings are typical value drivers; the lack of a confirmed avionics installation in the primary FAA record may be a due-diligence item for prospective buyers or lessees.
