N719NK

This entry describes airframe N719NK, a 2008-built light business jet, serial 525B0280, manufactured by Textron Aviation (Cessna) as a Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B). The aircraft is registered in the US and is listed as owned by BLUE JAY AIR LLC, a corporation based in Oakland, CA, US. Broker documentation and registry records indicate a market valuation of $4,799,337 and show this airframe configured and maintained to typical light-corporate standards for its vintage.

The specific cabin of N719NK is configured in a 7-place executive layout with aft belted lavatory (per broker listing), supporting executive transport missions and small-group regional trips. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 21, a glass flightdeck suite that supports typical corporate operational profiles including mixed IFR short- and mid-haul missions up to the airframe’s published range. Based at Oakland, CA, US under corporate ownership, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point charters or owner-operator business use along Pacific and transcontinental routes within its 2,040 nm capability. Maintenance and operational considerations follow the CJ3 program norms for two Williams FJ44-3A engines and the Pro Line 21 avionics baseline.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) occupies the light-cabin, short- to mid-range business jet niche, prized for fuel-efficient Williams FJ44 series propulsion, single-pilot capability in many configurations, and competitive cruise speeds around 416 kts. Competing models in this segment include later-model light jets from Embraer and Honda/other Citation variants; buyers often weigh cabin comfort, avionics suites like Collins Pro Line 21, and engine-hour history when assessing value and resale. For this airframe, age (2008), cumulative market hours, and the $4,799,337 valuation will influence maintenance planning and depreciation expectations in secondary-market transactions.
