Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N162TJ, is a 1999 production Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0888. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by MCM JET LLC, an LLC based in Mooresville, NC; it is recorded on the U.S. registry to that Mooresville-based operator. The airframe’s documented configuration and equipment reflect the typical Bravo installations for its build era, with no other public registry actions provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details were not included in the available data.
The cabin of this specific Citation Bravo is described in the supplied data as a typical 6–8-place executive layout with a forward galley and aft baggage space, supporting executive transport or small-group charter missions. Many Bravos, and therefore this airframe in its typical fit, carry Honeywell Primus-class EFIS installations; the provided avionics entry notes that many Bravos carry Honeywell Primus 1000 suites, consistent with factory and common upgrade paths for the model. With an 8-seat arrangement and the Bravo’s range and cruise performance, the aircraft is suited to regional and transregional point-to-point missions out of its Mooresville, NC operator base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow typical Bravo practice given its vintage and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A powerplants, though no specific maintenance history was provided.
The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of single-pilot capability, efficient short-field performance, and transregional range. With cruise speeds around 342 knots and a ceiling of 43,000 feet, the Bravo competes with contemporaries in the light-cabin segment for owner-operators and charter operators. Market considerations for this 1999 airframe include the typical demand for well-equipped Bravos with Honeywell Primus-class avionics, established support for the PW530A engines, and resale considerations driven by avionics fit, maintenance records, and interior condition.
