N139RN

This airframe, registered as N139RN, is a 1999-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0886. The aircraft is recorded as owned by ISLAND AIR OPERATIONS LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. Registration and ownership are notable for placing the airframe in a corporate/operator context rather than private ownership. Valuation records for the airframe list a market value of $1,710,095, reflecting its age, configuration, and typical equipment fit.

The airframe is outfitted in a center-club 7–8 passenger executive layout with an aft lavatory and a forward refreshment area, a cabin arrangement described as typical for serial 550-0886. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 1000, though many Cessna 550 Bravos later receive Avidyne IFD retrofit and ADS‑B upgrades; such retrofits are common considerations for operators seeking improved situational awareness and regulatory compliance. The aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with light corporate and charter operations—short to medium-range business trips, regional hops, and point-to-point missions from its operator base. Maintenance and avionics upgrade paths are relevant operational considerations given the airframe’s late-1990s manufacture date.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, light-business-jet niche within Textron Aviation’s lineup, offering single-pilot capability, efficient turbofan powerplants, and access to smaller airports. With a cruise near 394 kts and a typical range of 1,744 nm, it competes against aircraft such as early-model Learjet variants and the Beechcraft Premier in owner-flown and light charter markets. For buyers and operators, residual value and maintenance planning hinge on engine program status, avionics upgrades (notably Avidyne/ADS‑B retrofits), and the airframe’s documented configuration exemplified by N139RN.
