N90KM

This article describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N90KM, a 2006-built Cessna 525B (Citation CJ3) with serial number 525B-0124. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporation SKYSOUTH AVIATION INC, located in Burlington, NC, US. As a fixed-wing, multi-engine business jet manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this airframe is configured and operated in the light-cabin, short-to-medium-range corporate transport role. The current registration and corporate ownership are the primary documented registry actions for this airframe.

The airframe is configured with 8 seats consistent with typical Citation CJ3 executive layouts, supporting small corporate groups or charter pairs on point-to-point missions. With a cruise speed of 416 knots and a range of 2,040 nm, the aircraft is optimized for regional to transcontinental hops within continental US and nearby international sectors. Powered by two Williams FJ44-3A engines producing 2,820 lbf each, operational considerations include standard light-jet maintenance intervals for twin turbofans and typical CJ3 systems support from Textron-authorized service centers. Based in Burlington, NC, US, the operator SKYSOUTH AVIATION INC likely uses the airframe for corporate transport or on-demand charter missions consistent with the Citation CJ3 mission profile.

The Cessna 525B (Citation CJ3) family occupies the light-business-jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort for up to 8 passengers, efficient two-engine operation, and transcontinental short-field performance with a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the same segment typically include other light jets equipped with small high-performance turbofans; the CJ3’s 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise place it competitively for owner-operators and charter providers. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe hinge on documented ownership, US registration, and adherence to CJ3 service programs for the Williams FJ44-3A engines.
