RADAR ESTIMATE

What N181WS 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 N181WS's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N181WS

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 N181WS is a 2019-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 (525B), serial 525B0592, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The aircraft is owned by SS Jets LLC, an LLC based in Chattanooga, TN, US, and is registered in the United States. The build year and late-model serial suggest contemporary systems and remaining service life typical of a 2019 delivery; no additional public registry events or transfers are published.

Operations & Cabin

This specific CJ3 airframe is configured to carry 8 occupants, aligning with the common light-citation cabin layouts optimized for executive transport and short- to mid-range missions. Avionics fit for this serial is Not published. Typical operation profiles for the type and given the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed include single-leg transcontinental hops, regional business travel, and on-demand charter missions operating from the owner-operator base in Chattanooga, TN, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on routine checks for the two Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and airframe inspections consistent with a 2019-model jet, with attention to time-between-overhaul and service bulletin compliance typical for the series. No unique cabin amenities or modifications are published for this registration.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 (525B) occupies the light business jet niche, offering a balance of short-field capability, efficient twin-engine cruise, and a transregional mission set reflected by the 2,040 nm range. Competing models in its class include other light jets that target owner-operators and charter operators seeking speed near 416 kt and high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft. Buyer demand for late-production CJ3 airframes remains strong among corporate and charter buyers who value proven systems and predictable operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect the health of its Williams FJ44-3A engines and adherence to manufacturer maintenance programs for a 2019 serial.
