Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N129PB is a 2001-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0973. The aircraft is currently owned by P-51 Investments LLC, a corporate owner based in Salem, OR, US, and operates on a United States registration. Recorded corporate ownership by P-51 Investments LLC represents the primary documented change in the aircraft's operational stewardship. The airframe is listed with an estimated market value of $2,180,000, a figure commonly used in registry summaries and condition assessments.

This specific Citation Bravo configuration seats 7, reflecting a typical executive interior for intercity and regional missions; cabin layout on this airframe is consistent with short- to mid-range business transport roles. Avionics fit for the 2001 Cessna 550B Citation Bravo commonly includes systems suited to single-pilot or dual-pilot IFR operations, supporting the aircraft's listed cruise of 342 kts and maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft. Typical mission profiles for N129PB include time-sensitive corporate travel and on-demand charter hops within the aircraft's 1,500 nm range, often operating from bases near Salem, OR, US given the owner’s location. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine support and adherence to Citation Bravo airworthiness directives and service bulletins pertinent to the 2001 serial series.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet segment, offering a balance of performance—342 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling—and operational economy for short- to medium-range missions up to 1,500 nm. Competing models in the market bracket include other light jets that trade cabin size and range for similar acquisition costs; the indicated value of $2,180,000 places this individual airframe within a used-market tier where buyer and charter demand is driven by total time, avionics upgrades, and maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine time on the PW530A units and the aircraft's serial-specific service records.
