N550BW

This airframe, registered as N550BW, is a 2015-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3, serial 525B0464, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The jet is owned by RAW LEASING LLC, a corporate lessor based in Memphis, TN, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe’s recorded market valuation stands at $3,777,249, reflecting its position as a late-model light business jet configured for executive missions. Notable registry entries for this specific airframe have centered on its corporate ownership and leasing status rather than large refurbishments or role changes.

N550BW is outfitted in a typical six-place executive club layout with provisions to expand to eight occupants using side-facing belted seats; the configuration also includes an aft belted lavatory and external baggage capacity of approximately 65 cubic feet. Specific avionics fit for this serial is not published in the provided data; however, the aircraft’s performance figures (long range and high cruise speed) indicate operation on regional point-to-point executive and charter missions. As a corporate-leased asset based in Memphis, TN, the airframe is likely operated under leasing arrangements for corporate or charter operators; maintenance planning and dispatch cycles are influenced by its role as a leased aircraft with standard Citation CJ3 support requirements.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche, offering manufacturers’ improvements in range and payload versus earlier Citation variants. With a cruise of 416 kts, a ceiling of 45,000 ft, and a 2,040 nm range, the type competes with similar light jets in charter and corporate fleets for short‑to‑medium regional missions. Buyer and charter demand for CJ3s is driven by operating economy, cabin flexibility, and aftermarket support; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2015 build year, serial 525B0464, and corporate leasing ownership structure, which can favor consistent maintenance records but may require scrutiny of utilization and modifications during pre-purchase evaluations.
