N618LS

This entry covers airframe N618LS, a 2020-built light business jet, serial 525B0618, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) as a Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+. The aircraft is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe carries a contemporary Garmin avionics fit and modern engines, and its market valuation is listed at $8,500,000, reflecting a 2020 build in typical entry-to-mid-life condition for the model.

The cabin of N618LS is outfitted in a typical CJ3+ executive layout, accommodating 6–7 passenger executive club seating with a belted lavatory option and an aft baggage bay of approximately 65 cu ft, supporting short international and regional missions. Avionics have been upgraded to the Garmin G3000 suite as part of the CJ3+ configuration, which enhances situational awareness and automates many flight tasks for single- or two-pilot operation. With a long-range capability of 2,040 nm and a cruise speed near 416 kts, the aircraft is typically employed for business transport, owner-operator missions, and light charter operations from its owner’s base in North Salt Lake, UT. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the Williams FJ44-3A engines and the integrated Garmin avionics architecture, following manufacturer and trustee-directed maintenance programs.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ sits in the light business jet segment, offering transcontinental regional range and high cruise speed with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, meeting demands for rapid point-to-point business travel. For a 2020 airframe like N618LS, buyer and charter market interest is driven by modern avionics, engine efficiency, and cabin flexibility; the listed value of $8,500,000 reflects these attributes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize avionics lifecycle (Garmin G3000) and scheduled engine inspections for the Williams FJ44-3A powerplants, factors that influence operating economics and residual value.
