N226PC

The airframe bearing tail number N226PC is a 1998-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo (serial 550-0835) manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by White Oak Flight Service Inc, a corporation based in Beckley, WV, US, which serves as the operator and home base for the airframe. The airframe’s listed value is $2,000,000, reflecting its late-1990s manufacture and configuration; maintenance history and specific logbook entries are not published here. Notable registry action includes the current ownership record showing the corporate operator in Beckley, WV, with no other historical transfers provided in the available data.

This airframe is outfitted with a typical executive interior described as Typical 6–7‑place executive club seating with forward galley and aft baggage, supporting corporate transport and short to mid-range business missions. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 1000 / Universal UNS-1, configurations commonly used for GPS, flight management and basic integrated flight displays on this generation of Citation, shaping operational capability for single-pilot or two-pilot executive operations. With a cruise of 400 kts and a range of 1,495 nm, the Citation Bravo airframe is well suited to domestic point-to-point charters, corporate shuttles and regional executive missions from its Beckley, WV base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine schedules and Cessna Citation Bravo airframe inspections as standard for the model, although no unique maintenance events are recorded in the provided data.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies a light-cabin, turbofan business jet niche characterized by moderate operating costs, transcontinental short-range capability and flexible executive interiors. In the late-1990s fleet, the Bravo competes with contemporaries offering similar seating and range; buyers and charter operators typically value the model for its cruise speed near 400 kts and ceiling to 45,000 ft, balanced against older avionics suites such as Honeywell Primus 1000 / Universal UNS-1 that may prompt retrofits. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect age (1998), engine type (PW530A) and its listed valuation of $2,000,000, with market demand driven by cost-conscious corporate operators and charter companies seeking proven, single-pilot-capable light jets.
