The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business jet niche, offering a balance of speed and altitude capability—demonstrated by this airframe’s 357 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling—suitable for regional business travel. Competing models in the era and market tended to include other late-1970s light jets; demand among buyers and charter operators typically reflects acquisition cost, operating economics, and available cabin capacity. At an assessed value of $600,000, resale and marketability will be influenced by maintenance status, avionics currency, and engine time on the two JT15D-1 powerplants.
