N193JC

This entry covers airframe N193JC, a factory-built Cessna Citation III (Model 650) completed in 1991 with serial number 650-0199. The airframe is listed as owned by SOUTHERN SKY AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry and listing information includes a reported cabin refurbishment configuration cited in a 2021 listing and the installation of supplemental avionics equipment; the aircraft is valued at $1,280,000 in the supplied data. The machine is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine category jet operated from the owner’s Houston base.

The interior configuration documented for this specific airframe—the listing-refurbished 2021 layout—features a forward double side-facing divan, a mid-cabin four-place club, aft dual forward-facing seats, and a belted lav seat, providing seating for 12 in a mixed-club and divan arrangement. Original avionics fit for the model included Sperry/Honeywell SPZ-650 and Collins Pro Line II radios; the listing for this airframe reports the addition of a Gogo ATG 5000 for onboard connectivity. Typical mission profiles consistent with the installed performance—cruise of 418 kts and a range of 2,054 nm—would support medium‑to‑long regional transport and business charter operations from the Houston operator base. Maintenance considerations for this individual jet would reflect its twin Garrett TFE731-3B engines and the documented 1991 build year, with attention to systems common to the Model 650 family.

As a Model 650 airframe, this Cessna Citation III occupies a mid‑to‑upper performance niche within Cessna’s business jet lineup, offering high cruise speed and a long service ceiling of 51,000 ft for its era. Buyer and operator demand for this specific airframe is influenced by its documented cabin refurbishment, installed connectivity equipment, and the listed valuation of $1,280,000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on engine cycles on its Garrett TFE731-3B powerplants, the provenance of the single registered owner, and the condition reflected in the 2021 listing configuration.
