RADAR ESTIMATE
What N16PR is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation X on its own yet, so this borrows the Bombardier Challenger 300 curve, scales it to N16PR's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N16PR
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, registered as N16PR, is a 1997-built airliner-derived business jet type Cessna 750 Citation X with serial number 750-0029. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Airplay III LLC, Dover, DE, US, reflecting a corporate ownership structure typical of owner-operated or chartered business jets. The listing indicates the aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine category asset operated from a U.S. base by its registered LLC owner.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin of N16PR is documented as a 12-seat configuration, consistent with high-speed transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point missions within the Citation X role. Broker information notes installation of Gogo Avance L3 connectivity and an FMS software upgrade to version 6.1, enhancing in-flight connectivity and flight-management capability; specific primary EFIS/FMS hardware for this serial is not documented in the provided public listing. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include high-speed, long-range business trips that exploit the type’s cruise speed and high-altitude capability; maintenance considerations should account for legacy systems and the AE3007C engine series common to this model. Corporate ownership implies operations and maintenance are managed under the owner’s oversight or contracted third-party operator.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 750 Citation X represents the long-range, high-speed end of Cessna’s business-jet family, offering a niche performance package centered on a 525-knot cruise and 51,000-foot ceiling. Competing models in the late-1990s and early-2000s transcontinental high-speed segment include earlier offerings from Bombardier and Gulfstream light-long-range jets, but the Citation X has been marketed on speed and efficient range.
