N70YP

The airframe bearing tail number N70YP is a 2011-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3, constructor serial 525B0355, and is registered in the United States. It is currently owned by WHITE LODGING LEASING LLC, a corporate owner based in Merrillville, IN, US, and is listed with a market value of $3,049,647. The aircraft’s registry shows a U.S. registration and corporate ownership; notable registry actions are not published in the supplied data. Condition highlights in the available record are limited to valuation and factory specifications; maintenance history and accident/incident records are not provided.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout for 6–8 passengers, featuring club seating, a forward refreshment center, and a belted lavatory—configured for business travel and charter-style executive missions. Avionics are installed in the common factory fit for the 525B CJ3, typically the Collins Pro Line 21 suite; note that CJ3+ and later retrofits in the model line may be upgraded to Garmin G3000 systems, but no specific retrofit for this tail number is indicated. With a 2,040 nm range and a high cruise speed of 416 kt, the airframe is well suited to regional point-to-point corporate flights and air-taxi operations from its owner’s base area in Merrillville, Indiana; routine maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and typical Part 135/91 operational scheduling for light business jets.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-twin business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and transregional range compared with older Citation models while preserving lower operating costs than midsize jets. Competing types include the Embraer Phenom 300 and newer variants of the Citation family; buyer and charter demand historically favors the CJ3 for short-to-medium range corporate missions and fractional ownership. From a resale and maintenance perspective, engines and avionics choices (Collins Pro Line 21 versus Garmin retrofit) influence marketability and lifecycle cost, factors reflected in the listed valuation for this specific airframe.
