N78ZG

This airframe, registered as N78ZG, is a 2023-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) with serial number 525B0699, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is recorded on the US registry and is owned by 78ZG LLC, an Aspen, Colorado–based limited liability company. As a recent-production example of its model, N78ZG carries an estimated market value of $8,781,425 and presents as a modern, low-time CJ3+ configured for executive transport. Ownership is listed to 78ZG LLC with Aspen, CO as the home base, with standard US registration actions reflected in its records.

The cabin of N78ZG is fitted in an 8-place executive layout featuring club seating fore and aft and an enclosed lavatory, with 65 cu ft of baggage capacity suited for owner/operator missions and light charter work. Avionics are supplied by Garmin G3000, providing a modern integrated flightdeck suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations and enabling efficient routing on typical transcontinental or regional trips within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range. Based in Aspen, Colorado, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with business travel between mountain destinations and major urban centers, and maintenance planning would follow factory schedules for a 2023 airframe with twin Williams FJ44-3A engines.

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche in Textron’s Citation family, offering a balance of runway performance, speed, and operating economics for owner-operators and charter operators. With a cruise of 416 kts, a 45,000 ft ceiling and modern Garmin G3000 avionics, examples like N78ZG compete with other light jets in missions requiring short-field capability and efficient regional range. Current buyer demand typically favors low-hour, recent-build CJ3+ airframes for favorable resale value; maintenance and resale considerations for this 2023 example will center on engine time, avionics updates, and the continuity of operator records held under 78ZG LLC.
