N77AD

This entry concerns airframe N77AD, a 2018-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ with serial number 525B0552. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by LAND AIR & SEA LLC (an LLC based in Charlotte, NC, US), which is listed as the current owner and operator/home base connection. The airframe's fitted avionics, typical cabin configuration and manufacturing pedigree indicate it is a factory-standard CJ3+ example; its market valuation is recorded at $8,475,000. No other registry actions or historical operators are published beyond the noted ownership.

The cabin of this airframe follows the typical CJ3+ executive arrangement: a 6–8 passenger executive club layout with forward galley/refreshment center and enclosed aft belted lavatory; exchangeable side‑facing belted seat option available, supporting mixed corporate or private missions. The installed avionics follow the common CJ3+ fit with the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, enabling modern glass-flight operations and enhanced situational awareness for single- or two-pilot crews. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft would leverage its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise for regional to trans‑regional hops, while the 45,000 ft ceiling supports efficient high-altitude cruise and favorable weather avoidance. Operator maintenance and operational planning are consistent with a fixed‑wing multi‑engine corporate jet of this class and year.

As a member of the Citation family, the Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ (525B) occupies the light-cabin, short- to mid-range business jet niche, blending efficient Williams FJ44 powerplants with modern avionics and a flexible cabin. Typical competitors include other light jets offering similar ranges and cruise speeds; demand in owner-operator and charter markets favors CJ3+ examples for their combination of performance and operating economics. For buyers and brokers evaluating 525B0552, considerations include its 2018 build year, current ownership history, Garmin G3000 fitment, and the recorded $8,475,000 valuation when assessing maintenance status and resale prospects.
