Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data, but the airframe’s year, equipment fit and engines reflect typical mid-life utility for the model.

The cabin for this specific airframe follows the typical executive layout reported for the type, a 6–7 place arrangement with a forward club and single aft seats and approximately 65 cu ft of external baggage space. Avionics fit reported for installations of this airframe type is Collins/Pro Line 21, supporting modern corporate mission avionics capabilities. Typical missions for this airframe profile include regional point-to-point executive transport across the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and higher-altitude cruise up to 45,000 ft at 416 kts. As an LLC-operated aircraft based in Jonesboro, AR, the platform is suited to corporate owner-operator work and on-demand executive transport; maintenance considerations align with mid-life engine and avionics cycles typical for twin Williams FJ44-powered light jets.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 airframe represented here fits the light-cabin, short-to-medium range business jet niche, delivering transregional capability with efficient twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and a cruise near 416 kts. With seating for 6 and a maximum cruise altitude of 45,000 ft, the type balances operating economics and executive comfort for owner-operators and charter operators alike. The airframe’s avionics commonality with Collins/Pro Line 21 installations supports continued avionics upgrades and marketability within secondhand corporate jet transactions.
