RADAR ESTIMATE

What N109TW is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation CJ3 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N109TW's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N109TW

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N109TW is a 2010-built Cessna 525B CitationJet 3 (CJ3), constructor serial number 525B0338. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States; it is registered to Cardinal Aviation Co, a corporation located in Morgantown, WV, US. As a single-example record, this CitationJet 3 reflects a 2010 production CJ3 retained in corporate operation, with registry entries indicating continuous corporate ownership rather than individual transfer.

Operations & Cabin

This specific CJ3, operated by Cardinal Aviation Co out of Morgantown, WV, is configured for an eight-seat corporate layout suitable for short- to mid-range business missions. Typical mission profiles for the airframe leverage its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed to operate regional charters, point-to-point business travel and corporate repositioning flights without intermediate stops on many domestic routes. The twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplant installation supports cruise altitudes up to 45,000 ft, allowing efficient flight levels for fuel and time savings. No unique cabin modifications or aftermarket changes are published in the provided data; maintenance considerations follow standard CJ3 schedules for engine and airframe inspections under corporate operator oversight.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 525B CitationJet 3 (CJ3) sits in the light business jet class, offering a balance of cabin capacity for eight passengers with performance suitable for regional missions. In market terms the CJ3 competes with other light-cabin jets that emphasize low operating costs and access to smaller airports.
