N856BB

This airframe, registered N856BB, is a 2007-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with manufacturer serial number 525B0207. The aircraft is owned by the corporate operator SUM-AIR LLC of Birmingham, AL, US and carries a United States civil registration (US). Its provenance reflects standard corporate ownership rather than fractional or airline operation; no public record of multiple prior owners or high-profile incidents is provided in the supplied data. The airframe is documented as single-pilot capable and is configured for executive transport under corporate operation.

The cabin of this specific CJ3 follows the typical executive configuration of 2 + 6/7, supporting single-pilot operation and seating for up to eight occupants in an executive layout. The original avionics fit for the CJ3 is the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which this airframe carries as part of its factory equipment; many later CJ3+ airframes were offered with Garmin G3000 as an upgrade, but that is noted as a later-variant option rather than the original fit for this 2007 build. Typical missions for this airframe under corporate ownership include short- to medium-range executive transport, point-to-point business travel within the continental United States, and regional charter or repositioning flights out of its Birmingham base. Maintenance considerations align with high-cycle corporate use patterns and single-pilot operational equipment.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-business-jet niche, offering transcontinental regional range with high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling for flexible routing and favorable winds. Competing models in the same market include light jets from Embraer and Learjet families; the CJ3’s strengths typically cited are efficient turbofan engines, comfortable executive cabin layouts, and single-pilot capability. For buyers and operators, resale and maintenance considerations focus on avionics modernization (such as retrofitting Garmin G3000), engine times on the Williams FJ44 series, and overall interior condition given corporate use.
