N218JG

The airframe bearing tail number N218JG is a 1997-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial 501-0218, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (now Textron Aviation). The airframe is owned by Edmund O. Noel, an individual based in Houston, TX, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s operational history with this owner and based location is the primary recorded stewardship; no significant registry actions or changes of operator are documented in the supplied data. Condition and valuation highlights beyond ownership and basic configuration are not published in the provided dataset.

The subject airframe is fitted in the common I/SP executive configuration with an executive 6–7 place layout with forward club seating and aft lavatory (common I/SP fit), providing typical short to mid‑range corporate transport capability for single‑owner operations out of Houston. The factory avionics fit is listed as Collins Pro Line (typical factory fit); the record notes that many Citation I/SP examples later receive Garmin or Avidyne upgrades, a consideration for modernization on this model. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its range and cruise, include regional executive hops and point‑to‑point business travel within the continental US. Maintenance considerations tied to this specific airframe include service and overhaul practices for the Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1A engines and airframe type‑specific inspections appropriate to a 1997 Citation I/SP.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies a light jet performance niche characterized by modest runway performance and efficient short‑to‑medium range capability, exemplified by this airframe’s 348 kts cruise and 1,215 nm range. Competing models in the segment historically include other light business jets offering similar capacity and range; buyer and charter demand typically favors well‑maintained examples with updated avionics. For resale and operational value, documented factory avionics (Collins Pro Line) and the common practice of later Garmin/Avidyne upgrades are salient factors; lifecycle maintenance of the JT15D series engines and adherence to Citation I/SP inspection regimes will influence long‑term marketability.
