Model & Market Context
The airframe, registered as N78ZM, is a 2023-build Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ with serial number 525B0699. It is listed in corporate ownership under 78ZG LLC, an Aspen, Colorado–based limited liability company, and carries a United States registration. The airframe configuration and recent manufacture date place it among newer entries of its model line; ownership is recorded to 78ZG LLC and the aircraft is operated from the Aspen, CO area. No public record of prior operators or notable registry actions beyond corporate registration has been provided.
The airframe is fitted with an executive cabin configured for 8 passengers and a Garmin G3000 avionics suite, supporting modern flight-deck integration and situational awareness on regional and transcontinental trips. Typical mission profiles for this installation would include point-to-point business travel from Aspen into major U.S. hubs and longer overwater or coast-to-coast legs afforded by a 2,040 nm range at a cruise of approximately 416 kts. As a recently manufactured 2023 example, maintenance considerations will follow factory-recommended schedules for the Citation CJ3+ family and its twin Williams FJ44-3A engines, while the corporate ownership structure suggests operations under typical LLC-based flight departments or third-party management.
The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, light-twin business jet niche, offering a balance of single-pilot-capable systems, efficient Williams FJ44-series thrust, and transcontinental range in its class. Competitors include other light-cabin jets with similar mission capability; buyer and charter demand typically favors late-production, low-time examples like this 2023 airframe equipped with Garmin G3000 for reduced avionics retrofit needs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect currency of factory documentation, engine hours on the Williams FJ44-3A, and condition consistent with private corporate operation from Aspen, CO.
