Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N578WZ, is a 2013-built business jet of serial number 525B0403, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) as a Cessna 525B Citation CJ3. The airframe is owned by REAL PROPERTY STRATEGIES LLC, a corporate owner based in Los Gatos, CA, US, and is registered in the US registry. The title and registration history centers on corporate ownership rather than individual operators, and available records indicate a market valuation of $6,600,000, reflecting the aircraft's condition and fit as a late-model CJ3 airframe.

The cabin on this specific airframe is fitted in a typical seven-place executive configuration: a four‑place club seating arrangement, two forward-facing seats, and an optional belted lavatory that can be fitted in place of a seat. Avionics are specified as a Collins Pro-Line Fusion suite, supporting advanced situational awareness and connectivity consistent with business-jet mission equipment. With a design cruise of 414 knots and a maximum practical range near 2,040 nautical miles, the aircraft is suited to regional and transcontinental point-to-point charters or corporate repositioning flights from its home base in California. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe follow the Citation CJ3 program standards for the Williams FJ44-3A engines and Pro-Line avionics, with considerations for corporate ownership record-keeping and scheduled inspections.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light jet performance niche, offering a balance of runway performance, fuel efficiency, and low- to mid-range transcontinental capability with a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. It competes with other light jets in the same segment that emphasize cabin flexibility and operating economics, attracting buyers looking for eight-place configurations and modern avionics like the Collins Pro-Line Fusion. For owners and prospective buyers, resale value and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program enrollment for the Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and the completeness of avionics upgrades; the displayed valuation of $6,600,000 reflects these market drivers for a 2013 serial 525B0403 airframe.
