N877SD

This entry covers US-registered airframe N877SD, a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with manufacturer serial 525B0260. The airframe is owned by LEESABIRD LLC, an Arizona limited liability company based in Phoenix, AZ, and carries a market valuation of $4,000,000 in current listings. As a single-aircraft record, the registry shows the standard civilian US registration and operational positioning from a Phoenix home base; notable registry actions are limited to routine ownership registration and operator filings. The condition is reflected by typical CJ3 configuration and value level for a mid-life light business jet of this model.

N877SD is fitted in an eight-seat executive layout consistent with CJ3 variants, including a forward galley and aft lavatory that support corporate transport and short- to mid-range charter work. Typical mission profiles for this specific airframe include high-speed regional business trips across the continental United States and flights to nearby international destinations within a 2,040 nm range, operating from its Phoenix base. The twin Williams FJ44-3A engines enable cruise speeds around 416 kts and a high-service ceiling of 45,000 ft, which supports efficient airline-style climb profiles and access to favorable altitudes for fuel- and time-sensitive missions. Maintenance considerations follow Textron Aviation and Williams recommended inspections for a 2008 airframe, with component life limits and records critical to retaining the cited $4,000,000 market valuation.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, short- to mid-range twinjet niche, offering improved range and performance over earlier Citation CJ variants while remaining more economical than midsize jets. Competing models in the segment include late-model Embraer Phenom 300s and older Learjet 60 series aircraft; buyer demand typically targets owner-operators and charter companies seeking eight-seat executive capability with transcontinental capability on favorable winds. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 serial 525B0260 focus on engine program status for the FJ44-3A fleet, avionics retrofits common to CJ3s, and overall logbook completeness to support continued charter or corporate use.
