Model & Market Context

This airframe, tail number N85VM, is a 2016-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ with serial 525B0491 manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity VMI ENTERPRISES LLC of Las Vegas, NV. It carries a market valuation of $8,475,000 based on the provided data and is configured and maintained to executive standards. No notable registry actions published for this specific airframe in the supplied dataset.

The interior of this Citation CJ3+ is fitted in an executive layout with a typical four-place club seating arrangement, additional belted side seat(s), an enclosed aft lavatory, and a forward refreshment center. Avionics are the typical CJ3+ fit of Garmin G3000, supporting advanced flight-management and situational-awareness capabilities for crew operation. With a maximum cruise around 416 knots and a range of 2,040 nautical miles, the aircraft is suited to regional and short transcontinental executive missions from its Las Vegas, NV operator base. The twin Williams FJ44-3A engines each producing 2,820 lbf provide the performance envelope and climb capability to operate routinely to the aircraft’s service ceiling of 45,000 feet. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe reflect typical business-jet practice for fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft, with emphasis on avionics updates and engine program adherence consistent with the platform.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ family, representing a light-cabin, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configuration aimed at corporate and charter use. Performance highlights for this model instance include a long regional range of 2,040 nm, high-speed cruise near 416 kts, and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft, aligning it with operators seeking efficient point-to-point executive transport. The provided valuation of $8,475,000 and the executive cabin/avionics fit indicate sustained buyer and charter demand for well-equipped mid‑2010s CJ3+ airframes, with resale and maintenance considerations centered on engine program status and avionics support.
