N224KC

The airframe is registered as N224KC, a factory-built 1985 example of the Cessna S550 Citation S/II (Super S‑II, FJ44 conversion) with serial number S550-0104. It is owned by Beasley Timber Co Inc, a corporation based in Hazlehurst, GA, US, which operates the airplane from that location. The airframe carries a conversion pedigree reflecting its upgrade from original S/II configuration to Williams FJ44 powerplants and associated systems, and its reported market valuation is $4,500,000. Registry and valuation notes indicate a corporate-operated executive transport maintained for business missions from its U.S. registration.

The cabin is an eight-place executive layout arranged center‑club with a forward two‑place divan and two aft forward‑facing seats, plus a belted flushing aft lavatory; the configuration can be operated up to ten passengers in a single‑pilot setup depending on specific equipment fitted. Avionics onboard this airframe comprise a Sperry SPZ-200 IFCS / ProLine II suite combined with a Garmin GTN 625 WAAS navigator, Garmin GMX 200 MFD, Garmin GTX 345R transponder, GDL 69 XM weather receiver, Sandel ST3400 TAWS/RMI and a Collins ALT-55B autopilot/altimetry interface. Typical missions for this aircraft under corporate ownership include regional executive transport and business shuttles consistent with its near 1,900 nm range and high‑speed cruise capability; maintenance considerations center on the FJ44 conversion systems and modern integrated avionics common to such retrofitted Super S‑II airframes.

The aircraft represents a converted member of the Citation S/II family upgraded to modern Williams FJ44 turbofan engines, positioning it in the light corporate jet niche that balances short-field flexibility with higher cruise speed and improved fuel efficiency. Competing models in this performance bracket include other light jets that have been re-engined or upgraded to modern avionics suites for continued charter and owner‑operator use. Buyers typically value the combination of upgraded propulsion, reduced operating cost compared to legacy powerplants, and an executive eight‑place cabin; resale and maintenance considerations focus on documentation of the conversion, engine program status, and avionics retrofits.
