N13KD

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N13KD, a 1979-built Cessna 501 Citation I with serial number 501-0119. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation WOELBING AVIATION LLC, based in Franksville, Wisconsin, US, which serves as its operator/home base. Registry records for this airframe reflect standard corporate ownership rather than individual or fractional arrangements, and there are no additional publicly provided notes on notable transactions or condition beyond current ownership.

The airframe configuration for N13KD is an eight-seat layout, consistent with light corporate transport and short- to mid-range executive missions. Typical utilization for this airframe, given its published cruise and range, would include regional business hops and intrastate or multi-state point-to-point missions launched from its Franksville, Wisconsin base. Cabin accommodations for the Citation I are generally oriented toward executive seating with a focus on compact, efficient space rather than large-cabin amenities; specific customized interior features or avionics fit for this serial are not detailed in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft center on the twin JT15D-1 turbofan engines and airframe systems appropriate to a 1979-built Citation I, with operator-managed upkeep under corporate stewardship.

The Cessna 501 Citation I occupies the light twin-jet niche of late-1970s corporate aviation, offering pressurized, efficient short-to-medium-range capability as reflected in its 1,328 nm range and 352 kt cruise. As a member of the early Citation family, its primary market appeal has historically been to owner-operators and small-corporate flight departments seeking economical operation and simple systems compared with larger business jets. Competing models in the era and subsequent resale market typically include other light jets with similar seating and performance; maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by age, engine model commonality, and the continuity of corporate ownership as evidenced by WOELBING AVIATION LLC.
