Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N579DF, a 2006-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0104. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by FWATX HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Austin, TX, US, which appears as the listed owner/operator on current registry records. The two-engined jet retains a configuration consistent with single-pilot-capable light business jets of its vintage and has an operational profile reflecting its build year and cumulative service; specific valuation and detailed condition reports are not published in the supplied data. No additional registry actions or secondary ownership transfers are noted in the provided dataset.
The cabin for N579DF follows the typical executive club layout for the model, accommodating 6–8 passengers in a single-pilot capable arrangement and reflecting common fixed seating and furnishing patterns for the Cessna 525B. With a maximum practical range of 2,040 nm and cruise capability near 416 kts, the airframe is suited to mid to long-stage business missions including transregional point-to-point hops from its Austin, TX operator base. The twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants support high-altitude operation to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, which aids in weather-avoidance routing and efficient cruise. Specific avionics fit, cabin refurbishments, or unique onboard amenities for this airframe are not published in the provided data.
As a member of the Citation CJ3 family, Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 airframes like N579DF combine light-jet handling with transregional range and single-pilot capability; the model’s published performance numbers (range, cruise speed, ceiling) define its operational niche. The twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and mid-2000s build year inform routine maintenance considerations and market depreciation characteristics typical for jets of this class and vintage. Buyer and charter demand for such airframes is generally shaped by seating flexibility, single-pilot operation, and the aircraft’s verified range and cruise performance.
