N232CE

This entry covers airframe N232CE, a Cessna 650 Citation III built in 1984 with serial number 650-0067. The aircraft is registered in the US; specific ownership timeline and operator history are Not published. No public registry actions or detailed valuation records are provided in the supplied data, though broker literature notes cabin features and equipment that affect marketability and condition assessment.

The airframe is outfitted in a nine-passenger executive layout with a belted lavatory as specifically listed in the broker brochure for this airframe, providing a typical executive cabin footprint for the model. Avionics fit is indicated as Sperry/Honeywell SPZ-650 flight director/autopilot with Collins Pro Line II radios as a typical fit on many III-series airframes, reflecting instrument and automation capability commonly used for high-altitude, higher-speed corporate missions. With a cruise speed of 427 kts and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, operational profiles for this specific aircraft would commonly include coast-to-coast or transcontinental trips within its 2,470 nm range, flown from bases in the US registry. Maintenance considerations for this airframe derive from its 1984 manufacture date and the installed TFE731 powerplants, which require standard hot-section inspections and life-limited component tracking consistent with turbofan overhaul intervals.

The Cessna 650 Citation III represented a high-performance, long-range corporate jet at its introduction; this airframe’s combination of twin Honeywell TFE731 engines and a 2,470 nm range places it in a performance niche focused on fast, medium- to long-range executive transport. The certified ceiling of 51,000 ft and cruise capability of 427 kts support efficient high-altitude operations, factors that influence buyer and charter demand for mature airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for N232CE will reflect its 1984 vintage, the installed avionics baseline, and condition of the TFE731-3C engines and associated life-limited components.
