Model & Market Context

This article describes airframe N615FB, a 2008-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ3 with serial number 525A0382. The airframe is owned and operated by FBK AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Nashville, Tennessee, United States, and is registered in the US. The aircraft's manufacturer is Cessna (Textron Aviation) and it is powered by twin turbofan engines in the Williams FJ44 family; no prior owners or registry actions beyond the current ownership are published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of N615FB reflects the typical CJ3 executive arrangement with a 7–8 passenger club seating layout, a forward galley, and an enclosed aft lavatory commonly fitted for this model. Avionics fit is typical for the CJ3 and is listed as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting advanced flight management and situational awareness for business and charter operations. With a 2,040 nm range and a high-speed cruise of 416 knots, typical missions for this airframe include regional and trans‑regional executive transport from its Nashville base, with operational ceilings up to 45,000 ft allowing efficient climb profiles and favorable performance in congested airspace. Maintenance and operational considerations are consistent with light-citation class twinjets powered by Williams FJ44-series engines, emphasizing inspection cycles and component tracking for continued dispatch reliability.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche, offering an effective mix of cabin flexibility for seven to eight passengers and long-range capability around 2,000 nm. Competing models in its class typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar speed and range; buyers and charter operators often value the CJ3 for its proven avionics suite (Pro Line 21) and favorable operating economics. For resale and maintenance, airframes like 525A0382 are evaluated on engine cycles and avionics configuration, with Williams FJ44 support and Rockwell Collins avionics being positive factors in aftermarket demand.
