N14VA

This entry covers airframe N14VA, a Cessna 501 Citation I/SP built in 1979 with serial number 501-0137. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by Randall A. Roth, an individual owner; registration to Randall A. Roth is the primary documented ownership event for this airframe. No additional operator or home-base details are published in the available data. The certificate and registry state a valuation of $650,000, reflecting the airframe’s vintage, equipment level, and market positioning among late-1970s light business jets.

The airframe holds single‑pilot certification and is typically fitted in a five‑to‑seven passenger executive layout, with an aft lavatory and a small forward galley consistent with Cessna 501 Citation I/SP interiors of the era. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type—reflected by the combination of 1,020 nm range and 345 kts cruise—include short to medium‑haul executive transport and business shuttle missions. Specific avionics fit and operator base for N14VA are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations would follow JT15D engine support and legacy Citation systems common to late‑1970s production jets. The single‑pilot certification preserves operational flexibility for owner‑operators and small corporate flight departments.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business-jet niche of late 1970s designs, offering modest range and high‑altitude capability up to 41,000 ft while being accessible to owner‑operators via single‑pilot operations. Competing models historically include other light jets powered by similar small‑turbofan engines; demand typically centers on private owners and small charter operators seeking economical short‑haul performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for N14VA are influenced by age, the availability and cost of JT15D parts and overhaul services, and the aircraft’s equipment level as reflected in its $650,000 valuation.
