N859LL

This entry covers airframe N859LL, a 2023-built business jet with manufacturer serial 525B0693. The aircraft is a factory-produced Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. Publicly available registry and operational details such as operator, home base, and a detailed ownership timeline are not published; the airframe is recorded with an estimated market value of $8,475,000 and reflects a current-production configuration consistent with late-build CJ3+ examples.

The cabin of N859LL follows a typical executive club arrangement for the airframe type, accommodating 6–7 passenger layouts with forward and rear single seats, club seating, a belted lavatory, and a refreshment center. Avionics are installed as a Garmin G3000 suite, supporting modern flightdeck integration, synthetic vision capability, and touchscreen controls typical for the CJ3+ series. Given the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed, typical missions would include short- to mid-range business hops and on-demand charter sectors across domestic and near-international routes; specific operator scheduling and base information are not published. Maintenance considerations align with Williams FJ44-3A engine support and Garmin avionics lifecycle management consistent with factory-new CJ3+ maintenance programs.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, short- to mid-range business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and efficient single-pilot operation. With a 45,000 ft ceiling and cruise near 416 kts, it competes against light jets such as later-model Embraer Phenom 300 variants and older Citation series in charter and owner-flown markets. Buyer and charter demand typically favor aircraft with modern avionics like the Garmin G3000 and low-time, late-build serials such as 525B0693; resale considerations include engine program status for the Williams International FJ44-3A engines and the aircraft’s documented configuration and maintenance history, which for this specific airframe are not published.
