N525BY

The airframe bearing registration N525BY is a 2005-built example of the Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0014. The aircraft is owned by TABISH BROTHERS DISTRIBUTORS INC, a corporation based in Missoula, MT, US, and is registered in the United States. This specific CJ3 reflects a first-decade production example of the 525B subvariant and has an estimated market value of $4,500,000. Corporate ownership and operation from a regional Montana base frame its likely use profile and registry history within U.S. civil aviation records.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 airframe configured as N525BY typically supports an eight-seat executive cabin appropriate for short- to mid-range corporate missions, day trips, and light cargo or personnel transfer operations. Avionics fit for the CJ3 family usually emphasizes modern IFR capability and efficient single-pilot or two-pilot operations; this airframe’s U.S. registration and corporate ownership suggest regular domestic use out of Missoula, MT and regional routing consistent with the platform’s 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include the twin Williams FJ44-3A engines, which are common across the CJ-series and attract established overhaul and parts support, while corporate ownership implies scheduled maintenance under an approved program and records maintained to meet resale or charter regulatory requirements.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, offering a balance of runway performance, cabin comfort for up to eight passengers, and efficient short- to medium-range capability. Competitors include other light jets in the early-2000s market era, and the CJ3’s cruise speed of 416 kts and service ceiling of 45,000 ft keep it competitive for executive and charter demand. For this 2005 airframe, buyer and charter interest will be influenced by maintenance history, engine cycles on the pair of Williams FJ44-3A units, and the documented corporate operation from Missoula, MT, US, all factors that affect resale pricing near the estimated $4,500,000 valuation.
