Model & Market Context

This entry covers airframe N87GM, a 2016-built Cessna Citation 525B (CJ3) with manufacturer serial number 525B0492. The aircraft was produced by Textron Aviation Inc and is registered in the United States; ownership is recorded to BC AVIATORS LLC of Beaumont, Texas. The airframe’s documented operator/home base is Beaumont, TX, and its registry history reflects a single-entity ownership structure typical of U.S.-based limited liability company holdings. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided data; operational descriptors focus on configuration and performance metrics tied to this specific airframe.

The aircraft is outfitted in a standard CJ3 executive interior with 8-place executive seating, a common layout for business transport and short to medium-range charter missions. Avionics fit is not specified in the provided data, but typical CJ3 systems support instrument flight operations to its service ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise at 414 kts, enabling transregional U.S. missions and nonstop flights approaching the stated 1,900 nm range. Registered to BC AVIATORS LLC and based in Beaumont, TX, the airframe is well suited for owner-operator use, corporate shuttle operations, and on-demand charter within the continental United States. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe mirror those of the CJ3 fleet—periodic inspections and engine program adherence for the Williams FJ44-3A powerplants—though no unique maintenance events are noted in the supplied data.

The Cessna Citation 525B (CJ3) occupies the light-cabin, long-range segment of business jets, offering a balance of cabin comfort for 8 passengers and efficient performance with twin Williams FJ44-3A engines. Competing models include other light jets that emphasize short-field performance and lower operating costs; buyer and charter demand generally targets corporate users and regional charter operators seeking sub-one-class performance at lower acquisition and operating budgets than larger midsize jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically will follow CJ3 fleet norms, influenced by the airframe’s 2016 manufacture date, engine program status, and the aircraft’s operating history under BC AVIATORS LLC.
