RADAR ESTIMATE

What N151GM 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 N151GM's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N151GM

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

Overview

This entry covers airframe N151GM, a 2014-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) with manufacturer's serial number 525B0452 produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The jet is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by McGrath Air LLC, an LLC based in Elgin, IL, US, which serves as its operator and home base. Acquisition by McGrath Air LLC and continued US registration are the most notable ownership events on record for this aircraft.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N151GM is arranged in a typical executive 6-8 place layout featuring a forward galley/refreshment center, club seating, a belted aft seat/divan and an enclosed aft lavatory, complemented by an approximate 65 cu ft baggage bay. Avionics are provided by Garmin G3000, a modern integrated flight deck that supports advanced navigation, situational awareness and single-pilot or two-crew operations as configured. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and a ferry/mission range around 2,040 nm, the aircraft is routinely suited to regional and continental business missions from its Elgin, Illinois base, including nonstop city-pairs across the eastern and central United States. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the CJ3+ program, emphasizing periodic engine inspections of the Williams FJ44-3A pair and avionics software lifecycle management for the Garmin G3000 suite.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche, offering jet speeds near 420 kts, transcontinental-ish range in a compact platform, and single-pilot capable flight decks like the Garmin G3000. Competing models include light jets from Embraer and Honda/other manufacturers targeting similar eight-seat mission profiles. For buyers and charter operators, the CJ3+ blends low operating costs relative to midsize jets with good runway performance; resale and maintenance considerations typically center on engine time on the Williams FJ44-3A series and avionics upgrades, factors reflected in the subject airframe’s market valuation.
