N615KJ

This airframe, registered as N615KJ, is a 2008-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0225. The aircraft is owned by 615KJ LLC (an LLC based in Santa Barbara, CA, US) and remains registered in the US; its current market valuation is listed at $5,000,000. The airframe configuration and records indicate standard CJ3 outfitting for corporate transport and light business use, with maintenance and registry actions consistent with operation from a California home base. No public record of other ownership changes or notable incidents was provided in the supplied data.

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical CJ3 executive fit: a 6–7 place layout featuring a club seating arrangement with forward and rear seats and the option of a belted lavatory. Avionics are commonly the Collins Pro Line 21 suite as a typical CJ3 fitment, supporting business mission avionics requirements and IFR-capable long-range operations. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and a range of 2,040 nm, this specific aircraft is well suited to medium-haul corporate trips and owner-operator missions based out of Santa Barbara and similar West Coast hubs. Routine maintenance considerations center on twin Williams FJ44-3A engine programs and CJ3-specific avionics lifecycle items; cabin configuration allows flexible passenger counts up to 8 for executive transport.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies a light, multi-engine business jet segment where operators value a balance of short-field capability, transregional range, and efficient twin-engine performance. With two Williams FJ44-3A engines and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, the platform supports competitive cruise and climb profiles for its class. For this 2008 airframe—serial 525B0225—resale and maintenance considerations reflect age-related avionics and engine program timelines; the listed valuation of $5,000,000 positions it within the used-market replaces/retains bracket for owner-flown and charter-capable CJ3s. Buyer demand typically focuses on aircraft with documented maintenance, Pro Line 21 avionics fit, and executive interior configurations matching the described cabin layout.
