N9CE

This entry describes airframe N9CE, a 2013-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) with serial number 525B0396. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by NINE MOTORSPORTS LLC, an LLC based in Dawsonville, GA, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the aircraft. Registry details show the aircraft operating under US registration; no additional public record of prior ownership transfers or extraordinary registry actions were provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics were not published in the provided data set.

The cabin of N9CE is outfitted in a typical CJ3 arrangement featuring a six-place club seating configuration with belted auxiliary seats to reach a maximum of eight passengers, reflecting standard executive light-jet interior planning for short to mid-range charter or owner-operator missions. Avionics fit for this airframe follows the original CJ3 specification with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, as is typical for the model (the CJ3+ variant uses Garmin G3000, but that upgrade is not indicated for this aircraft). With a 2,040 nm range and a 416-knot cruise, typical missions for the airframe encompass regional business travel, time-sensitive intrastate hops, and coast-to-coast point-to-point segments with fuel planning consistent with light-jet operational profiles. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ3 schedules for dual Williams FJ44-3A engine airframes and avionics commonality with Pro Line 21-equipped Citation jets.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, entry-to-midsize segment of business jets, offering a balance of runway performance and efficient long-range cruise for its class. Competitors in its niche include other light jets with similar seating and range profiles; demand typically comes from owner-operators and charter operators seeking eight-seat flexibility and single-pilot capability where certified. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 2013 build year, original Pro Line 21 avionics fit, and the widely used Williams FJ44-3A engines, factors that buyers and operators reference in lifecycle cost and market valuation assessments.
