N989RS

This entry documents airframe N989RS, a 2015-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ with manufacturer's serial number 525B0459. The aircraft was produced by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States. Ownership is recorded to LUCKY DEVIL LLC (a corporation based in Scottsdale, AZ, US), which serves as the listed operator/registrant for this airframe. The current market valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $8,475,000, and its registry and valuation reflect a late-model CitationJet CJ3+ in corporate service.

The configured cabin for this airframe follows the typical CJ3+ executive layout with a forward refreshment center, club seating for 6–8, and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting short to medium-haul corporate missions and owner/operator travel. Avionics fit is the typical Garmin G3000 suite for the CJ3+, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen control, and modern situational awareness features appropriate to the aircraft’s performance envelope. Based in Scottsdale, AZ, US under corporate ownership, this aircraft is suited to point-to-point business travel within its 2,040 nm range and high-speed cruise of 416 kts, operating to high-altitude airports up to its 45,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations follow those typical for twin Williams FJ44-3A–powered light business jets, with corporate operator oversight.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium-range business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and runway performance for its class. Competitors in this segment typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar range and payload; market demand focuses on owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficiency with modern avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2015 build, twin Williams FJ44-3A engines, and Garmin G3000 avionics, factors that influence operating costs, inspection cycles, and residual value aligned with the listed $8,475,000 valuation.
