Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N10UH, is a 2004-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0925. The aircraft is owned and operated by the UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA BOARD OF TRUSTEES (a government entity) and is based in Birmingham, Alabama, United States. The airframe carries US registration and has been used in university service; recorded ownership and operational control have been held by the university trustee entity since acquisition. Public registry actions and specific valuation data are not published in the supplied dataset.
The cabin for this specific Citation Bravo is described as a typical executive layout accommodating 6–8 passengers, reflecting its configured seating for eight. Reported configurations for this airframe include medevac/critical care fits when it has been employed on hospital or air‑ambulance missions, indicating mission flexibility beyond standard executive transport. Avionics equipment associated with this model in common factory fit is the Honeywell Primus 1000, with many examples later retrofitted with UNS‑1K or other FMS upgrades; those retrofit pathways are noted for aircraft of this type and are relevant to this airframe’s operational capabilities. Operated from Birmingham under university control, typical mission profiles for N10UH would align with short‑ to mid‑range executive transport, training, and occasional medical missions consistent with its range and cabin modularity.
The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies a light twin‑engine business jet niche characterized by moderate transcontinental range, cruise speeds near 400 kts, and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, balancing operating economics and performance. Within that market segment the Bravo is selected for institutional and owner‑operator roles where cabin versatility and proven turbofan engines like the PW530A are priorities. Common aftermarket considerations for this airframe class include avionics modernization (given common original fit of Honeywell Primus 1000) and lifecycle maintenance costs associated with twin‑engine turbofan systems; such factors influence buyer demand, charter suitability, and resale value trends for examples like N10UH.
