Model & Market Context

This entry concerns airframe N885EM, a 2009-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0296. The airframe is recorded as owned by DPA LLC, a corporation based in Coeur d'Alene, ID, US, and is maintained on the United States civil register.

No additional notable registry actions or transfers are published in the supplied data.

The airframe is outfitted in a typical executive cabin layout configured for 6–8 passengers with executive seating, reflecting its intended use in on-demand charter or corporate transport. Avionics are reported as Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern cockpit navigation, communication and flight management functionality appropriate to its performance class. Typical mission profiles for this Citation CJ3 include short- to medium-range point-to-point corporate hops, regional business trips, and on-demand charter missions from its home base area in northern Idaho. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the general service regime for Williams FJ44-3A powered Citation jets, with scheduled inspections and engine program adherence relevant to sustained operational availability.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies a light business jet niche emphasizing efficient regional performance, low runway field-length requirements, and economical operating costs relative to larger cabin classes. With a cruise of 416 knots and range near 2,040 nm, it competes with light jets from manufacturers offering similar combinations of speed and range. Buyer and charter demand typically favors well-equipped, avionics-modern examples like this airframe; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status, avionics condition (here reported as Collins Pro Line 21) and the airframe’s maintenance records.
