Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N189C, is a 2003-built Cessna (Textron Aviation) Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with serial number 550-1057. The aircraft is recorded as owned by BMR FINANCIAL INC, a corporation based in Kingston Springs, TN, US, and is registered in the US. Current registration and corporate ownership are the principal recorded points in its ownership timeline. As a 2003 model Citation Bravo variant, the airframe is valued at $2,450,000, reflecting market positioning for a well-equipped light business jet of its vintage and configuration.
The aircraft is fitted in an 8-passenger executive layout consistent with the model’s typical center-club seating arrangement, providing a compact executive cabin suited to short- to medium-range business travel. With a maximum cruise near 342 kts and a published range of 1,744 nm, operational profiles for this airframe generally include point-to-point regional missions, single-stop transcontinental flights, and corporate shuttle duties out of its owner’s base in Kingston Springs, TN, US. Specific avionics fit and recent maintenance status are not published for this individual airframe; maintenance considerations for the type commonly focus on engine program adherence for the PW530A powerplants and routine airframe and avionics updates appropriate to a 2003 airframe operating in corporate service.
The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet niche, offering low- to mid-range executive transport with relatively efficient operation for its class. Competing models historically include other light-cabin jets offering similar cruise speed and range; buyer and charter demand for a well-maintained Bravo centers on cost-conscious operators seeking a dependable, single-pilot-capable platform with eight-place executive seating. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe prioritize engine program history for the PW530A engines and the aircraft’s overall inspection and avionics modernization history given its 2003 manufacture date.
