N999JA

This airframe, registered as N999JA, is a 2007-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (Cessna Citation CJ3 (CitationJet 525B)) bearing serial number 525B0145. It is owned by CHEYENNE AVIATION INC, a corporate owner based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe is configured and marketed historically with Collins avionics and, in available listings for this serial, an FMS-3000 was reported; its estimated market valuation is $4,500,000 reflecting its model year, systems fit and typical condition for a 2007 CJ3. Notable registry activity includes continued corporate ownership and US registration under the listed Fort Lauderdale operator; no other ownership changes are provided.

The cabin layout for this airframe follows the CJ3 typical executive arrangement, noted as a Typical 6–8 place executive layout (club seating / belted aft lav options common for CJ3), supporting an 8-seat configuration as indicated for this serial. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 21 with an FMS-3000 reported on this particular airframe in available listings, enabling modern flight management capability for regional and continental missions. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and range of 2,040 nm, typical operations include corporate point-to-point charters, owner flights out of its Fort Lauderdale base, and short transcontinental sectors. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and CJ3 systems; the corporate owner profile implies operator-managed upkeep under US regulatory oversight.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (CitationJet 525B) occupies the light business jet niche with transcontinental capability for its class, highlighted by a 45,000 ft ceiling and efficient Williams FJ44 powerplants producing 2,820 lbf each. Competing models include other light-cabin jets that trade cabin arrangement and range versus acquisition cost; the $4,500,000 valuation aligns with a mid-life CJ3 with Pro Line 21 avionics and reported FMS upgrade. Buyer and charter demand typically favors CJ3s for their balance of speed, range and operating economics, while resale considerations focus on engine TSNs, avionics configuration and documented maintenance—factors relevant to this serial 525B0145 under corporate ownership in Fort Lauderdale.
