N88BK

The airframe bearing tail number N88BK is a 2018-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc, serial 525B0538. It is registered in the United States and is owned by N294CC LLC (an LLC based in Ridge, NY, US), with the current listing value at $6,500,000. The airframe configuration and equipment reflect factory CJ3+ standards, and its registration history includes registration to N294CC LLC in Ridge, NY, representing the most recent documented ownership record.

The cabin in this specific CJ3+ is fitted in a typical executive layout accommodating six to eight passengers: a forward galley, a forward four-place club, two aft seats, and a belted aft lavatory seat that allows conversion to an eight-passenger arrangement. Avionics are the CJ3+ standard Garmin G3000 suite, supporting modern navigation, flight management, and integrated cockpit functions appropriate for business and light charter operations. With the installed powerplants and the CJ3+ systems, this airframe is typically employed on short- to medium-haul missions within the continental U.S., leveraging the aircraft’s transcontinental-capable range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations mirror CJ3+ fleet norms, including attention to Williams FJ44-3A engine cycles and Garmin G3000 software/airworthiness updates.

As a member of the Citation CJ family, the Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment, offering a balance of speed, range, and operating economics for owner-operators and charter operators. Competing models in this niche emphasize similar eight-passenger capacity and transcontinental short-field capability, making resale value sensitive to avionics fit and engine time; this airframe’s factory Garmin G3000 fit and relatively recent 2018 manufacture date support marketability. Prospective buyers and operators typically weigh the costs of Williams FJ44-3A maintenance cycles and avionics upgrades against the aircraft’s performance envelope and the listed valuation.
