N9KG

This airframe, registered as N9KG, is a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) with serial number 525B0265. The aircraft is shown in civil registries as owned by SERENITY AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Bellevue, WA, US, and is registered under the US registry. Listed ownership and registry entries indicate the airframe operates from a Bellevue, Washington operator base under corporate ownership. The listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $4,200,000, and registry entries note an eight-seat executive configuration reflecting its executive-cabin role.

The airframe is outfitted with an 8-passenger executive cabin as recorded in the registry, indicating a typical internal layout focused on corporate transport and short-notice charter missions. While specific avionics fit for this serial are not published in the supplied data, the Citation CJ3 family commonly features modern integrated flight decks suitable for single- or two-pilot operations on regional business missions; this particular airframe is operated from the owner's Bellevue, WA base. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include transcontinental and coast-to-coast hops within its 2,040 nm range, or frequent point-to-point flights along the U.S. West Coast and to hubs within its payload/range envelope. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Williams FJ44-3A engine inspection regimes and manufacturer-recommended avionics and airframe checks appropriate to a 2008 serial number.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-twin turbofan niche, offering higher cruise speed and ceiling relative to older light jets while preserving single-pilot capability for many operators. With cruise speeds near 416 kts and a ceiling of 45,000 ft, the CJ3 family competes with models such as the Embraer Phenom 300 and Learjet variants in owner-operator and charter demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe center on engine time and avionics upgrades; a listed value of $4,200,000 places it in the mid-market segment where buyer interest is driven by upgraded avionics, completion condition, and remaining engine life.
