N800CU

This airframe, registered as N800CU, is a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ with manufacturer serial number 525B0246. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by FLFM 246 LLC, a limited liability company based in Ponchatoula, LA, US. No notable registry actions have been published for this specific airframe in the supplied data. Based on the provided valuation, the airframe is appraised at $8,475,000, reflecting typical market value for a late-2000s CJ3+ example in operational condition.

This specific CJ3+ is typically outfitted in a standard two‑crew plus six–eight passenger executive arrangement, featuring club seating, a forward galley, and a belted aft lavatory, providing a conventional light-cabin business jet interior optimized for short‑to‑medium international sectors. The provided avionics fit for the model is the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, though actual equipment may vary from airframe to airframe; the supplied data notes the G3000 as the typical configuration for the CJ3+. Operationally, the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed make it suitable for point‑to‑point corporate missions, regional executive charters, and owner-flown transport based from its home location in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the twin Williams FJ44-3A engines’ scheduled checks and CJ3+ avionics and structural service bulletins typical for 2008 production examples.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, high‑performance segment, offering a balance of single-pilot capability (in many operator configurations), efficient cruise, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling that enables favorable enroute altitudes. Competing models in this niche include other light jets equipped with modern avionics suites and similar transcontinental capability; buyer and charter demand for CJ3+ airframes remains strong for operators valuing operating economics and short-field performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 serial 525B0246 reflect typical lifecycle factors: engine time and overhaul status, avionics updates (notably G3000 installations or uprates), and completion condition, all of which materially influence market value from the listed $8,475,000 appraisal.
