N558FA

This entry documents airframe N558FA, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. and completed in 2018 with serial number 525B0558. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by QUALITAIR LLC TRUSTEE, an LLC (Trustee) based in Michelstadt, Germany, a notable cross-border ownership arrangement for a US-registered business jet. The airframe carries a contemporary avionics fit and interior specification and is currently valued at $6,740,065, reflecting its relatively recent manufacture and equipment package.

The aircraft is outfitted with an eight-passenger executive cabin in a configuration that includes a right-hand side-facing and exchangeable refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory seat under the Hyde Park interior theme. Avionics are provided by Garmin G3000 with G3000NG upgrades installed, supporting modern flightdeck capabilities for this airframe. Typical missions for this configuration would emphasize regional and transcontinental executive transport within the performance limits indicated by a 2,040 nm range and a 416 kts cruise speed. Ownership by QUALITAIR LLC TRUSTEE based in Michelstadt suggests operator or trustee management arrangements that could influence basing, maintenance oversight, and international positioning while retaining US registration.

As a Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) exemplar produced in 2018, this airframe occupies a light-cabin, twin-engine business jet niche characterized by point-to-point executive transport at mid- to high-altitude cruise up to 45,000 ft. The combination of the Williams FJ44-3A engines, Garmin G3000 avionics with NG upgrades, and an eight-passenger executive layout underpins demand from private owners and charter operators seeking modern systems and efficient regional performance. The reported valuation of $6,740,065 reflects both recent manufacture and installed equipment, factors that bear on maintenance planning and resale considerations for this specific airframe.
