N525VC

The airframe N525VC is a 2025-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B), serial 525B0742, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. It is owned by VANNOY CONSTRUCTION AIRCRAFT LLC of Jefferson, North Carolina, US, and is registered in the United States. The aircraft appears as a modern delivery with typical CJ3+ specification and a reported market valuation of $9,500,000. Entered into the owner’s registry in 2025, the airframe’s recent build year and factory-standard fitment position it as a low-hours example with contemporary avionics and cabin features.

This specific CJ3+ is outfitted in a typical 6‑place executive club layout despite the certificate listing 8 seats, providing a forward galley and a belted enclosed lavatory with approximately 65 cu ft of baggage capacity. Avionics are described as Garmin G3000-class (typical CJ3+ fitment), supporting modern integrated flight displays, autothrottle-capable systems, and advanced navigation and connectivity features suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional business transport and owner-operator travel across the continental US, leveraging a 2,040 nm range and 416 kts cruise for efficient point-to-point missions from its Jefferson, NC base. Maintenance considerations for this late-build CJ3+ focus on Williams FJ44-3A engine lifecycle management and Garmin avionics software/avionics warranty timelines.

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) occupies the light business jet niche with a balance of speed, range, and operating economics attractive to owner-operators and charter operators. It competes with other light jets offering similar cabin comfort and transcontinental capability in the 2,000+ nm class. The market for a 2025-built example with modern avionics and low utilization generally commands premium value and strong demand, while maintenance and resale considerations center on engine on-condition cycles, avionics upgrades, and adherence to Textron’s recommended inspection intervals.
