The cabin for this Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 is configured in a typical executive layout supporting 6–7 place executive club seating with an external baggage compartment of approximately 65 cu ft, matching the factory/typical CJ3 interior arrangement supplied in the data. Avionics fitted to this airframe are listed as the Collins Pro Line 21 suite (the standard fit for CJ3 examples), with a note that later CJ3+ examples use Garmin G3000 — this airframe is described with the Pro Line 21 fit. Typical mission profiles for the airframe, implied by the supplied performance figures (range 2,040 nm, cruise 416 kts, ceiling 45,000 ft), include short- to medium-haul executive transport and on-demand charter between regional centers while operating from its Amarillo, TX base. Maintenance considerations reflect the two Williams FJ44-3A turbofan engines common to the model.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies a light business jet performance niche defined in the provided data by its combination of a transcontinental-capable 2,040 nm range, high cruise speed near 416 kts, and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. With seating for 6 in an executive club layout and an external baggage compartment of roughly 65 cu ft, the airframe is suited to owner-operators or small charter operators seeking efficient regional to transcontinental capability. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial (manufacturer serial 525B0011) are driven by commonality of the Williams FJ44-3A engines and the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics fit noted in the supplied information, factors that influence fleet support and buyer demand in the used-light-jet market.
