N52ET

The airframe bears tail number N52ET and is a Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 built in 2005 by Cessna (Textron Aviation) with serial number 525B0018. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by N52ET LLC, an LLC based in San Angelo, TX, US, which appears as the primary operator/home base for this airframe. The registration and ownership are associated with a private LLC operator rather than individual ownership, reflecting corporate-operated use. The airframe is appraised at $4,450,000, with condition and valuation reflecting its year and configuration.

This airframe is configured with a typical executive layout for 2 crew + 6 passenger use and is registered with 8 seats, consistent with light business jet operations. The onboard avionics package is the integrated Collins Pro Line system, supporting advanced navigation and systems integration for corporate and charter missions. Typical missions for this airframe include regional to transcontinental business transport within its 2,070 nm range and operations into higher-altitude flight profiles up to 45,000 ft, enabled by its twin Williams FJ44-3A engines. Based with N52ET LLC in San Angelo, TX, US, the aircraft’s operational profile is corporate executive transport; maintenance considerations follow light jet schedules specific to the Cessna 525B and Williams FJ44 engine program requirements.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability in a compact airframe with cruise speeds around 416 kts and useful range of 2,070 nm for owner-operators and charter firms. Competing models in this segment include other light jets that emphasize low operating cost and airport flexibility; the CJ3’s appeal is tied to its performance, cabin size for up to 8 seats, and certified avionics like the Collins Pro Line. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2005 airframe with serial 525B0018 center on engine program status, airframe hours, and the continuity of corporate ownership under N52ET LLC, factors that contribute to its current valuation of $4,450,000.
