N736JS

The airframe bearing tail number N736JS is a 2005-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with manufacturer's serial 525B-0023. Constructed by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this specific airframe is registered in the US and is owned by Braun Aircraft Holdings LLC, a corporate owner based in Murrysville, PA, US. Its operational record identifies a singular corporate ownership appearance in available registry excerpts and a market valuation assessed at $4,500,000, reflecting typical mid-life pricing for the type in active service. Notable registry actions are limited to standard U.S. civil registration and corporate ownership listing without published incident history.

The airframe configured as a seven-seat Citation CJ3 supports short- to medium-range corporate travel profiles, with typical missions spanning business shuttles, regional point-to-point charters, and owner-operator trips within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range. Cabin layout on this model generally emphasizes club seating with forward and aft divans or individual executive chairs to accommodate seven passengers in mixed comfort and utility configurations; specific retrofits or furnishing details for N736JS are not published. Avionics fit on CJ3 airframes commonly includes modern GPS/flight management and weather/radar suites suited to single-pilot operations in this class, supporting cruise operations at 416 kts and flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance for a corporate-owned example like N736JS is typically conducted under established Part 145 or factory-recommended programs given the airframe’s value and operational profile.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies a light-cabin, high-performance niche among single-pilot capable business jets, offering higher speeds and longer range than early CitationJet variants while retaining economical operating characteristics. Competitors in its segment include other light jets offering similar seating and range; demand is steady among corporate owners and charter operators seeking a blend of performance and lower acquisition cost, with resale influenced by engine-time, avionics upgrades, and maintenance history. For N736JS, factors such as its Williams International FJ44-3A engines and mid-2000s build year will shape maintenance cycles and marketability relative to newer retrofitted examples.
