The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, long-range turbofan segment, offering higher cruise speed and cabin utility than earlier CJ models while remaining more economical than midsize jets. Its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise place it in direct competition with light-cabin types such as the Embraer Phenom series and other light business jets targeting owner-operators and charter operators. Buyer and charter demand for CJ3s is driven by their cockpit commonality, established maintenance networks, and proven Williams engine reliability; resale and maintenance considerations for N535DL will reflect its 2007 model year, installed Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, and overall configuration including the optional belted aft lavatory.
