Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N109GA is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1980 with manufacturer serial number 550-0124. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation FINANCIAL MISTAKE AIR LLC, based in Uvalda, GA, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s reported market value is $800,000; registry data indicate this airframe remains in corporate ownership with no publicly listed operator changes or notable incident history in the supplied dataset. The airframe’s condition and valuation reflect an older-model light business jet of its era, with common age-related maintenance and inspection considerations.
The cabin of this specific Citation II is fitted in a double‑club executive layout configured for 8 passengers, with provision to carry 9 when utilizing the belted lavatory; forward galley and an enclosed lavatory are fitted as standard for the described interior. Reported avionics equipage for this airframe includes a Garmin GTN 650, a King KMD‑style MFD, a Collins communications suite, and a Sperry SPZ‑500 flight director/autopilot, supporting typical single‑pilot or two‑pilot corporate transport operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short‑to‑medium range business trips within the continental United States, leveraging a cruise speed of 369 kts and a practical range of 1,900 nm. Maintenance considerations for this registration reflect JT15D engine support and aging‑aircraft inspection regimes common to late‑1970s/early‑1980s Citations.
The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light business jet niche offering transcontinental short‑range capability with moderate operating costs compared with larger cabin jets. Competing models in market segments historically include early Learjet variants and comparable light Citations; demand tends to focus on private owners, small charter operators, and corporate fleets seeking economical light jet capability. Resale value and maintenance burden for this airframe are influenced by engine cycle history, avionics upgrades (such as the installed GTN 650 and MFD), and the airframe’s 1980 build year, which can require phased structural and systems inspections that affect marketability.
