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.

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.
