N897TC

This entry documents airframe N897TC, a 2020-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ with serial number 525B0626 manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is owned by DAISY & LUCYS AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Hood River, OR, US, and operates on a United States civil registration. Delivered in 2020, N897TC carries the typical documentation and valuation profile for late-production CJ3+ examples; current market valuation is listed at $8,475,000. No other public registry transfers or notable incidents are recorded in the supplied data.

The airframe features a typical 6–8-place executive interior configured for club seating, with an optional belted lavatory and approximately 65 cubic feet of aft baggage volume, matching the CJ3+ executive mission set. Avionics are fitted to the CJ3+ specification and are inferred to include the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck for modern situational awareness and flight management. Operator missions for N897TC are consistent with owner-operated or charter-style regional business transport, leveraging the aircraft’s transcontinental-ish range and high cruise speed for point-to-point charters and corporate hops from its Hood River base. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44-3A engine support and CJ3+ avionics lifecycle planning typical of late-model Citation light jets.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ sits in the light-cabin, short-to-medium-range business jet niche, offering a balance of cruise speed, single-pilot capability, and efficient operating economics. Competing models in this segment include other light jets from rival manufacturers that target eight-passenger executive missions. Demand for well-equipped, low-hour CJ3+ airframes like N897TC remains steady among owner-operators and charter operators; resale value and maintenance scheduling reflect continued support for the Williams FJ44 engine family and Garmin avionics common to this variant.
