RADAR ESTIMATE

What N1H 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 N1H's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N1H

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

Overview

This entry covers airframe N1H, a 2005-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0055. The airframe is recorded as owned by Rays Leasing LLC, an LLC based in Hobe Sound, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Ownership by Rays Leasing LLC places the aircraft in a leasing/operator support role rather than a single-corporate flight department, and registry entries indicate standard U.S. civil registration activity for a leased light business jet.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin layout for this airframe accommodates 8 seats, consistent with typical CJ3 interiors configured for executive transport or on-demand charter. Avionics fit and specific interior appointments for this serial are Not published; however, the CJ3 platform’s performance envelope, 414 kt cruise and 1,875 nm range, supports regional to transcontinental business missions under typical operating weights. Based in Hobe Sound, Florida, the owner/operator arrangement suggests utilization on East Coast and Caribbean routes where the CJ3’s single-pilot-capable systems and fuel efficiency provide operational flexibility. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its twin Williams FJ44-3A engines, each rated at 1,900 lbf, and the lifecycle and inspection programs associated with a 2005-built CitationJet maintained under U.S. leasing standards.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and range than earlier CitationJet variants while retaining single-pilot certification options. Competing models in the same segment include later variants of light jets and small-cabin offerings from other manufacturers, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating economics, dispatch reliability, and cabin utility.
