N550T

This entry describes airframe N550T, a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 carrying serial number 525B0226. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by SAND CASTLE PROPERITIES LLC, an LLC based in Newark, DE, US. No other public registry transfers or notable incident records are provided in the available data; valuation is listed at $4,250,000, indicating a market position consistent with a late-2000s light business jet in operational condition. Operator and home-base activity beyond ownership location are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin configuration for this airframe follows a typical CJ3 executive fit with a 6–8 passenger layout, featuring center club seating, a forward refreshment/galley area, and an aft belted lavatory; executive tables and multiple AC outlets are common fitments. Avionics on the type are typically the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which supports modern IFR operations, flight management, and common business-jet avionics workflows. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and a maximum practical range of 2,070 nm, typical mission profiles for this aircraft include short to mid-range executive travel and on-demand charter legs from regional hubs; maintenance considerations center on continued airframe and engine support for the Williams FJ44-3A engines and avionics lifecycle management. Specific maintenance records or unique installed amenities for this airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, offering favorable operating economics for short to mid-range executive missions with a high cruise speed and 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in this segment include other light jets with similar mission capability; demand among private owners and charter operators has historically favored the CJ3 for its balance of cabin size, performance, and established support network. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe focus on engine-time management for the Williams FJ44-3A units, avionics lifecycle for the Collins Pro Line 21, and documentation completeness to support the stated market value of $4,250,000.
