N934CT

This airframe, N934CT, is a 2008-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B-0263, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The aircraft is owned and operated by CLEMSON UNIVERSITY, a government entity based in Clemson, SC, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Entered into service in 2008 and remaining in institutional operation, the airframe’s institutional ownership and university-based mission profile inform its utilization and maintenance history. Current market valuation is estimated at $4,250,000, reflecting its configuration, age, and role in a government/university fleet.

The cabin on this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout accommodating 7–8 passengers in an executive club configuration with a forward refreshment/galley and a belted aft lavatory, though actual layout can vary by operator. Avionics are the common original-fit Collins Pro Line 21, with retrofit options available on some airframes; this fit supports typical university transport, executive travel, and regional mission profiles. Based in Clemson, SC, the aircraft is commonly tasked with medium-range transport duties consistent with its 2,040 nm range and cruise speed of 416 kts, enabling nonstop regional operations and efficient point-to-point missions. Institutional ownership implies structured maintenance schedules and potential modifications to support institutional transport and safety requirements.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, short-medium range turbofan market, offering a balance of speed, range, and operating economics for university, corporate, and charter operators. With twin Williams FJ44-3A engines producing 2,820 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the CJ3 competes with similar light jets in its class for buyers seeking runway performance and cabin flexibility. Buyer and charter demand typically favors well-maintained institutional airframes; resale and maintenance considerations center on avionics upgrades (such as Pro Line 21 retrofits), engine times, and the aircraft’s documented institutional service history.
