Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N121CN is a 2001-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo, serial 550-1000, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and is held by PETERS BUILDING LLC (co-owned with DKM ENTERPRISES LLC; PEACOCK PARADOX LLC; SCL FAMILY SR-22 LLC), an ownership group based in Sabinal, TX, US; this co-ownership structure has been a defining characteristic of the aircraft’s administrative history. The aircraft’s basic registry footprint indicates standard U.S. corporate ownership and operation; specific notable registry actions beyond the initial registration and current co-ownership status are not published. Information on current valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are not published.

This particular Citation Bravo is configured in a typical executive interior with a 6–8-place layout, featuring a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory; seating may present as club or sofa arrangements depending on refit. The avionics fit for the type as operated here is typical of early Bravos, commonly equipped with the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, though many later Bravos have been retrofitted with UNS-1 or other FMS options; this airframe’s documented baseline aligns with the standard Primus installation. With a long-range cruise and high practical ceiling, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range business missions, owner-operated hops and light charter work from its Sabinal, Texas base, with routine maintenance considerations centered on aging avionics upgrades and standard PW530A engine support requirements.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium-range business jet niche, valued for efficient operating economics, relatively high cruise speed and access to smaller airports. Competing models include early-generation Learjets and the light ends of the Hawker and Embraer family; demand typically comes from owner-operators and small charter operators seeking eight-seat flexibility. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2001 Bravo emphasize airframe fatigue inspections, avionics modernization (common upgrade paths from Primus to newer FMS systems), and ongoing Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine support and overhaul planning.
