N748CX

This airframe, registered as N748CX, is a 2004-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0005, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna Aircraft Company). The jet is owned by STAGGLESBY AIR LLC, an LLC based in Monroe, LA, US, which serves as the aircraft’s operator and home base for typical operations. The airframe retains a standard CJ3 configuration and has an estimated market valuation of $5,750,000; registry records note the airframe under a U.S. registry (US) with no public indication of damage history in the supplied data. Acquisition by STAGGLESBY AIR LLC is the only documented notable ownership action in the provided dataset.

The cabin of N748CX is configured in a typical 7–8 passenger executive layout with forward club seating and aft club/divan options, accommodating a single lavatory and providing approximately 65 cu ft of baggage space. Avionics aboard are the conventional CJ3-fit Collins Pro Line 21 suite as commonly retained on many airframes unless upgraded, supporting standard IFR and charter operations. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and a range of 2,040 nm, the aircraft is optimized for short-to-mid-range business missions, regional hops, and feeder charter work operating primarily from Monroe, Louisiana. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow CJ3 schedules for dual Williams FJ44-3A engines and associated component tracking given the platform’s light business-jet usage profile.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment, offering transcontinental-range flexibility for point-to-point regional business travel within the 2,000+ nm class envelope. Competitors in this niche include other light-cabin jets that balance operating economics with cabin comfort; the CJ3’s typical cruise of 416 kts and service ceiling of 45,000 ft contribute to its appeal for owner/operators and charter companies. Buyer and charter demand historically favors CJ3s with well-documented maintenance and original avionics fits such as the Collins Pro Line 21, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine time accumulation for the pair of Williams FJ44-3A units and the provenance of ownership records like those showing STAGGLESBY AIR LLC.
