N742AR

This entry describes airframe N742AR, a 2006-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0074, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is owned by HEIR TO AIR LLC, an LLC based in Bryn Athyn, PA, US, and is registered in the US. Listed valuation for this specific airframe is $6,300,000, and its configuration and equipment reflect an executive mission focus with connectivity and modern avionics.

The cabin of N742AR is fitted in a typical 6–8 place executive layout with an aft lavatory and an optional single side-facing belted seat; a belted lav configuration was reported on the listing for this airframe. Avionics and mission systems include a Collins ProLine 21 suite (FMS-3000, IFIS-5000), Garmin GPS-500, TTR-4000 TCAS II, Honeywell EGPWS, and in-flight connectivity via Gogo AVANCE L3. With a four-passenger-plus configuration typical of this airframe, the aircraft supports short- to mid-range executive transport and business missions, operating from its home base in Bryn Athyn, PA under LLC ownership. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with the installed systems and engines, notably the Williams FJ44-3A turbofans and the Collins ProLine avionics architecture.

As a member of the Citation CJ3 (Cessna 525B) family, N742AR occupies a light-cabin, light-medium performance niche characterized by a cruise near 416 kts and transcontinental-ish range around 2,040 nm. The combination of twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and a 45,000 ft service ceiling supports efficient point-to-point business missions. For buyers and operators of this airframe, considerations include lifecycle support for the FJ44-3A engines, upgrade paths for ProLine avionics elements, and the impact of the specific cabin configuration (including the belted lav option) on passenger capacity and resale valuation.
