N525CR

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N525CR, a 2008-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with manufacturer serial number 525B0238 produced by Textron Aviation (Cessna Aircraft Company). The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned and operated by the corporation SKYWAY AVIATION SERVICES INC, based in Palm Harbor, FL, US, with that corporate ownership reflected on the registry. The jet is equipped and maintained to executive standards and carries an estimated market value of $4,000,000; no other ownership history or notable registry changes are published for this specific airframe.

The cabin of N525CR is configured as an 8-passenger executive layout featuring a right-hand side-facing seat, a center club configuration, two forward-facing seats, and a left-hand belted lavatory seat, plus an aft flushing lavatory. Avionics fit on this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21 suite as-equipped, supporting the aircraft’s business-jet mission profile. Typical operations for this CJ3 airframe under SKYWAY AVIATION SERVICES INC would include short- to mid-range executive transport and charter missions within the 2,040 nm capability and at typical cruise speeds near 416 knots, operating from Florida as the home base. Maintenance and operational considerations follow standard light-jet practices for the CitationJet family, including engine support for the Williams FJ44-3A series and avionics lifecycle management for Pro Line 21-equipped cockpits.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and range than earlier CitationJet variants while maintaining efficient operating economics for owner-operators and charter operators. Competing models in this sector historically include other light-cabin jets offering similar seat counts and ranges; buyers value the CJ3 for its combination of runway performance, 45,000 ft ceiling capability, and proven Williams FJ44 powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 525B0238 airframe include inspection of avionics retrofits or life-limited components and market demand driven by operational condition and complete maintenance records tied to the $4,000,000 valuation.
