N53TP

This entry covers airframe N53TP, a 2020-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ bearing serial number 525B0621 and registered in the US. The aircraft is owned by ULK PROPERTIES LLC, a corporate owner based in Newark, DE, US, and appears in civil registers under that corporate name. Acquired new in 2020 and maintained in active executive configuration, the airframe represents a late-production CJ3+ example; current listed market valuation for the airframe is $8,995,000. Registry status and ownership are straightforward corporate registration rather than individual or fractional ownership.

The aircraft is fitted in an eight-passenger executive layout featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory, with an interchangeable side-facing seat option that permits reconfiguration between passenger seating and occasional utility or attendant accommodations. Avionics fit is Garmin G3000, supporting modern flight deck automation, touchscreen controls and integrated navigation/communication systems appropriate for Part 91 corporate or on-demand charter operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range executive transport within the continental United States, leveraging a cruise speed of 416 knots and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 feet to access high-altitude flight levels and favorable winds. As a corporate-registered asset, maintenance considerations follow manufacturer and Garmin avionics support cycles, with owner-based provisioning handled through corporate maintenance arrangements.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of single-trip range near 2,040 nm, eight-passenger comfort, and efficient Williams FJ44 series propulsion. Competing models in this performance and capacity segment include later-model Phenom and Embraer light jets, but the CJ3+ is noted for its combination of Garmin G3000 avionics and proven Williams engines. Buyer demand typically favors corporate and charter operators seeking transcontinental regional capability without the larger operating costs of midsize jets; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine program status, avionics updates, and interior condition given the model’s strong presence on the pre-owned market.
