N1249P

The airframe bearing tail number N1249P is a 1982-built Cessna 550 Citation II, serial 550-0451, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is recorded as owned by TRNS SOLUTIONS LLC, an LLC based in Lewes, DE, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this specific airframe in civil US registry (US). Historical listings for this serial reference avionics retrofits and equipment variations, and registry entries indicate the airframe has circulated in the second-hand light-corporate jet market consistent with Citation II examples of its vintage. Condition and valuation notes are itemized in maintenance records and sales listings rather than in the base registry; published equipment differences tend to drive valuation for this airframe.

The cabin of this airframe is outfitted in a typical executive configuration described as an executive 7–9 place club with a forward galley and a small aft lav, with the common configuration listed as 8-seat for this specific aircraft. Avionics vary by retrofit on this airframe; historical listings reference a Sperry SPZ-500 IFR CAS combined with a Garmin GNS-530W and mixed Collins comm/nav equipment, representative of typical older Citation II fits. Operational missions are generally short- to mid-range corporate and charter hops within the aircraft’s 1,159 nm range and at cruise speeds near 385 kts, with operations centered on the owner’s Delaware base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect common vintage-citation items including avionics modernization choices and JT15D series engine program requirements.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies the light-corporate jet niche, offering moderate range and airport performance suitable for owner/operators and charter operators. Comparable models in role and era include light jets from other manufacturers that target short- to medium-range executive transport; buyer and charter demand for Citation IIs is driven by acquisition price, retrofit avionics, and engine program status. For this airframe, resale and maintenance considerations focus on the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engine status, the scope of avionics retrofits (as noted in historical listings), and the condition of the executive interior.
