Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N531CM is a 2006-built light business jet, a factory designation Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) with serial number 525B0071. It is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by BLUE LINE EQUIPMENT LLC of Englewood, CO, US, reflecting corporate ownership rather than individual registry. No publicly noted changes of operator are provided; the current record ties the aircraft to its corporate owner and U.S. registration. The listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $4,106,990, which offers a snapshot of its assessed condition and market position among mid‑2000s light jets.
This airframe is fitted in a typical executive interior offering a 7–8‑place club layout with forward refreshment center and belted lavatory (configurations vary by customer), providing flexible seating for corporate missions and light charter work. The avionics fit listed for this airframe is the factory/typical Collins Pro Line 21, a system commonly retained in CJ3s though later upgrades to Pro Line Fusion or Garmin suites are possible. Operational use for this aircraft profile typically centers on short‑ to medium‑haul executive travel within the continental U.S., leveraging its cruise speed and range for city‑pair missions. Corporate ownership based in Englewood, CO, US suggests regional basing and maintenance coordinated through local service providers familiar with the CJ3 fleet.
The Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) occupies the light jet niche with efficient twin Williams FJ44 engines, offering a balance of runway performance, cabin comfort, and operating economics desirable to owner‑operators and charter firms. Competing models in the segment include later variants of the Citation family and light jets from other manufacturers, with buyer demand influenced by interior condition, avionics standard, and engine hours. For resale and maintenance considerations, documented factory avionics (Collins Pro Line 21) and a clear corporate title such as BLUE LINE EQUIPMENT LLC are material factors affecting transaction timelines and upgrade decisions.
