N889PS

This airframe, bearing tail number N889PS, is a 2018 build of the Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ with manufacturer serial 525B0555. It is owned by DESOTO AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Belleair, Florida, and is registered in the US. The airframe's documented market valuation stands at $6,500,000, and its registry record reflects standard U.S. registration actions without additional publicized transfers or encumbrances. Operationally the aircraft is associated with a Belleair, FL operator/home base under corporate ownership.

The cabin of this specific CJ3+ is outfitted in a typical 6–8-place executive layout with a forward refreshment/galley and a belted aft lavatory, supporting both short business hops and longer transcontinental trips within its stated 2,040 nm range. Avionics for this airframe are fitted with the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, which complements the aircraft's two Williams FJ44-3A turbofan engines for modern cockpit situational awareness and mission flexibility. Typical missions for this configuration include point-to-point corporate travel, light charter, and owner-operator usage from its Belleair, FL base. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe align with corporate-operator practices and the support network for the CJ3+ and Williams FJ44 engine family.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of transcontinental capability, single-pilot certification in many operations, and efficient turbofan performance at a cruise of 416 kts and service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competitive models in this segment typically include other light jets offering similar mission ranges and cabin layouts; market demand often centers on owner-operators and charter companies seeking low operating cost per seat and modern avionics suites such as the Garmin G3000. For resale and maintenance considerations, the combination of a 2018 build year, factory-standard engines (Williams FJ44-3A), and documented valuation of $6,500,000 positions this airframe within an active secondary market where provenance, avionics fit, and ownership history influence buyer interest.
