N16PR

This airframe, registered as N16PR, is a 1997-built airliner-derived business jet type Cessna 750 Citation X with serial number 750-0029. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by AIRPLAY III LLC, Dover, DE, US, reflecting a corporate ownership structure typical of owner-operated or chartered business jets. Public listings and broker notes for this serial identify recent avionics and connectivity updates and place its estimated market value at $2,995,000, with no public record in the supplied data of earlier registries or major incident history. The listing indicates the aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine category asset operated from a U.S. base by its registered LLC owner.

The cabin of N16PR is documented as a 12-seat configuration, consistent with high-speed transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point missions within the Citation X role. Broker information notes installation of Gogo Avance L3 connectivity and an FMS software upgrade to version 6.1, enhancing in-flight connectivity and flight-management capability; specific primary EFIS/FMS hardware for this serial is not documented in the provided public listing. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include high-speed, long-range business trips that exploit the type’s cruise speed and high-altitude capability; maintenance considerations should account for legacy systems and the AE3007C engine series common to this model. Corporate ownership implies operations and maintenance are managed under the owner’s oversight or contracted third-party operator.

The Cessna 750 Citation X represents the long-range, high-speed end of Cessna’s business-jet family, offering a niche performance package centered on a 525-knot cruise and 51,000-foot ceiling. Competing models in the late-1990s and early-2000s transcontinental high-speed segment include earlier offerings from Bombardier and Gulfstream light-long-range jets, but the Citation X has been marketed on speed and efficient range. Buyer and charter demand for older Citation X airframes typically reflects high-speed mission needs balanced against maintenance expenditures for aging airframes and engines; resale values, such as the $2,995,000 shown for this serial, often hinge on completed avionics upgrades and overall maintenance status.
