N96PB

The airframe bearing tail number N96PB is a 2006-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with manufacturer serial 525B0111. The airframe is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US civil aircraft registry. Ownership is held in trustee capacity under a corporate name, a status that can reflect lien, collateral, or estate-related arrangements in public registry records. The airframe's market valuation is listed at $4,450,000, and registry entries indicate standard continued airworthiness without publicly noted unique incident annotations.

The cabin of this specific Citation CJ3 is configured in an executive club seating arrangement consistent with a typical 6–8 passenger executive layout and includes a refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory as described in charter and advertising listings. Missions suited to this airframe include short to mid-range business travel within its 2,040 nm range and high-speed regional hops at cruise speeds near 416 kts, often operating to and from business airports and regional terminals. Operator or home-base details beyond registry ownership are not published; maintenance considerations follow the twin-engine Williams FJ44-1AP operator programs typical for the type, with attention to engine time, hot-section inspections, and avionics/software currency for charter operations. The enclosed lavatory and refreshment center support executive transport missions and light charter work.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche offering transcontinental regional capability with a high maximum operating altitude of 45,000 ft and efficient Williams FJ44 series powerplants. Competing models in the class include offerings from Embraer Legacy/Phenom and some older Learjet variants; buyer and charter demand often focuses on operating economics, range-cruise tradeoffs, and cabin utility such as the noted executive layout. Resale considerations for this airframe emphasize engine cycles, maintenance records, and the trustee ownership status reflected in public registry data.
