Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N12WH is a 1977-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial number 501-0064, registered in the United States. The airframe is recorded as owned by AIELERON AIR LLC, a limited liability company based in Wilmington, DE, US, which serves as the primary operator/registrant on public records. Registry entries identify the type as a fixed-wing multi-engine jet and list the factory serial as the definitive build identifier; no intervening ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the current LLC registration are provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.
The aircraft is configured with seating for 8 occupants, consistent with typical light business-jet cabin arrangements for the Cessna Citation I/SP family; specific cabin layout, finishes, and avionics fit for this individual airframe are not detailed in the supplied data. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-range business travel within the continental United States, leveraging a cruise speed of 357 knots and a range of 1,328 nautical miles for point-to-point trips. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 powerplants, each producing 2,200 lbf of thrust, support operations to a service ceiling of 41,000 feet, which allows for flexible routing and favorable fuel-efficiency altitudes. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe are limited to the engine and airframe types listed; no records of modifications, refurbishments, or unique amenities were provided.
The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies a light business-jet niche focused on efficient short-to-medium-range executive transport, with performance numbers such as a 357 kt cruise and 1,328 nm range defining its operational envelope. Competing models in the same era and mission class typically include early-generation light jets that balance operating costs, field performance, and simplified systems, factors that influence buyer and charter demand for well-maintained examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe type commonly center on engine time, avionics currency, and airframe corrosion/structural inspections; for N12WH specifically, evaluation would rely on logbook evidence tied to serial 501-0064 and the ownership track under AIELERON AIR LLC.
