N86CG

The airframe bearing tail number N86CG is a 2017-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna), serial number 525B0512. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate entity EMERALD SPRINGS LLC, based in Missoula, MT, US. Acquisition and registration under EMERALD SPRINGS LLC represents the primary recorded ownership change for this airframe. Valuation assessments for this specific CJ3+ place its market value at approximately $8,475,000, reflecting its late-model year and equipment fit.

This airframe is outfitted in a typical executive configuration described as a six–seven passenger club layout with an additional forward/side-facing seat and an enclosed belted lavatory; the lavatory may alternatively be specified as belted‑lav optional. The avionics fit for the CJ3+ typical configuration on this airframe is the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck. Operational missions for N86CG are consistent with light business jet use — short- to medium-range executive transport and point-to-point regional travel within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm capability and high-speed cruise capability of 416 kts. Base of operations and maintenance oversight are tied to the owner’s location in Missoula, MT, which informs typical routing and seasonal utilization patterns for the aircraft.

As a member of the Citation CJ3+ family, this airframe combines turbofan efficiency and high-altitude capability — exemplified by its 45,000 ft ceiling and twin FJ44-3A engines producing 2,820 lbf each — to serve the light, long-ish cross-country business jet niche. The combination of eight-place seating, the Garmin G3000 avionics suite, and a mission radius near 2,040 nm positions the aircraft for owner-operator and charter use demanding speed and access to regional airports. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2017 build year, contemporary systems fit, and the quoted value of $8,475,000, factors that influence lifecycle cost planning and market demand within its category.
