N535DT

This entry covers airframe N535DT, a 2006-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) carrying serial number 525B0069. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity JET SET HOLDINGS LLC, based in Lake Havasu City, AZ, US; the current corporate ownership is presented here as the primary operator/home base. The airframe's documentation and market listings indicate a typical CJ3 configuration and an estimated value of $4,300,000. Maintenance and registry activity for this airframe conform to the CJ3 fleet norms and owner/operator records for corporate-registered aircraft in Arizona.

The cabin of N535DT is outfitted in a typical Cessna Citation CJ3 executive arrangement: a 7-place club-style seating layout with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory, and operator listings for this airframe show accommodation for seven passengers. Avionics fit is listed as the Collins Pro Line 21, consistent with many CJ3 examples and supporting modern IFR and regional charter operations. Mission profiles for this aircraft under corporate ownership typically include short- to medium-haul business trips across the continental U.S., leveraging the CJ3’s combination of transcontinental range and high cruise speed; ownership by JET SET HOLDINGS LLC suggests primary use in corporate or private business transport centered on its Lake Havasu City, AZ base. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44-3A engine programs and Part 91/135 corporate operator standards.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) family occupies a light-cabin, long-range segment offering performance near the top of single-pilot-capable light jets, with cruise speeds and ceilings that suit regional corporate missions. Competing models in the market niche include other light-to-midsize-cabin jets that also emphasize efficient twin-engine operations, such as aircraft from Embraer and Bombardier entry-level types. For buyers and charter operators, the CJ3’s strengths are its range of 2,040 nm, cruise of 416 kts, and the widespread support network for Williams FJ44 engines; resale and maintenance considerations for N535DT reflect typical CJ3 lifecycle costs and market valuation trends represented by its $4,300,000 estimated value.
