N550MX

This airframe, registered as N550MX, is a 2007-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0137. It is owned and operated by B-3 AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Georgetown, SC, US, and is on the U.S. registry. The airframe is a mid‑production CJ3 example delivered in 2007 and currently valued at $4,000,000; no public record of prior owners or major registry actions is included in the supplied data. Maintenance and condition highlights are confined to the factory configuration and installed equipment as detailed below.

The cabin of N550MX is fitted in the typical CJ3 six–eight place executive club layout, accommodating 6–8 passengers with an enclosed aft lavatory, a forward refreshment center, and approximately 65 cu ft of baggage capacity. Avionics are an integrated Collins suite reflecting a Pro Line–era installation, supporting precision navigation and regional business-jet operations. Operated from Georgetown, SC, the aircraft is suited to short‑ to medium‑haul missions such as intra‑U.S. executive transport and light charter work, trading range and speed for lower operating costs relative to larger jets. Routine maintenance considerations align with Williams FJ44 series engine programs and the avionics integration typical of Pro Line installations.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light‑jet niche, offering a combination of transcontinental-ish range (about 2,040 nm) and high single‑engine-out performance up to 45,000 ft, with cruise speeds near 416 kts. Competing models in its class include later-model Phenom 300s and older Learjet/Embraer light jets; buyer and charter demand typically emphasizes reliable short‑field capability, low per‑seat operating costs, and a modern avionics fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on Williams FJ44 support, avionics updates from the Pro Line era, and the airframe’s maintenance history and total time as reflected in operator records.
