N999YC

This airframe, registered as N999YC, is a Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ built in 2018 with serial number 525B0536 by Textron Aviation Inc. The jet is listed as owned by YATES INDUSTRIES LLC, an LLC based in Artesia, NM, US, and carries a United States registration. Recorded ownership under YATES INDUSTRIES LLC and US registration are the primary documented registry actions for this airframe. The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet with an estimated market value of $9,000,000, reflecting a relatively modern build and executive configuration.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in an executive layout described as an 6–8 place club configuration and includes an enclosed aft lavatory and exterior baggage capacity of approximately 65 cu ft, suitable for short to mid-range business missions. Avionics are provided by Garmin G3000, supporting integrated flight management, navigation, and situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operation. Typical mission profiles enabled by the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed include regional point-to-point business trips and intrastate or cross-border charters out of its owner/operator base in Artesia, NM. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with light jet class practices, driven by twin Williams FJ44-3A turbofans and modern digital avionics common to the CJ3+ series.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light jet performance niche, offering transregional range and high single-pilot capability, exemplified by this 2018 airframe. In its segment it competes with other light-cabin jets that balance operating costs and speed; buyers typically value the CJ3+ for its Garmin G3000 suite and efficient Williams FJ44 engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its recent build year, documented ownership, and executive cabin — factors that support demand among corporate owners and charter operators, while ongoing engine and avionics maintenance records will influence future marketability.
