The CJ3+ took the proven CJ3 airframe and paired it with a Garmin G3000 avionics suite — a significant cockpit upgrade that replaced the earlier Rockwell Collins package with large-format touchscreen displays, improved situational awareness tools, and a more intuitive pilot interface. The airframe, engines, and cabin remained consistent with the CJ3, keeping the ownership transition straightforward for operators already familiar with the model. For buyers who want the CJ3's proven range, cabin, and performance with a flight deck that feels current, the CJ3+ is the natural choice and commands a corresponding premium in the pre-owned market.
