N716XJ

This article concerns airframe N716XJ, a 1997-built example of the Cessna 750 Citation X with serial number 750-0016. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The airframe is a factory-produced Citation X by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and carries US registration markings; ownership is held by a corporate trustee rather than an individual operator. Current valuation is recorded at $2,800,000, reflecting its age, configuration and market position.

The installed cabin on N716XJ follows a typical executive double‑club arrangement intended for 8–12 passengers with a forward galley and aft lavatory, though the exact onboard layout can vary by operator. The avionics fit commonly reported for this airframe type is Honeywell Primus 2000, subject to retrofit or upgrade on a per-aircraft basis. Operationally, this airframe’s long-range and high‑speed cruise characteristics support transcontinental and high‑utilization business missions; as a corporate-trust-held asset it is likely managed for charter, corporate transport, or asset leasing rather than private sole ownership. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect age-related inspection cycles and typical engine support for the AE3007C series.

The Cessna 750 Citation X is positioned as a high‑speed, long‑range business jet within the Citation family and competes in markets valuing speed and altitude performance. With a cruise near 525 kts and service ceiling of 51,000 ft, the type occupies a niche where buyer and charter demand focuses on time-sensitive transcontinental missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1997 airframe like N716XJ include avionics modernization choices (e.g., upgrades from Honeywell Primus 2000) and lifecycle engine programs for the AE3007C powerplants, which influence marketability and operating economics.
