Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N232TA is a Cessna-built airliner-class business jet, the Cessna 650 Citation III, delivered in 1989 with serial number 650-0128. Registered in the US, the specific ownership timeline and operator base for this airframe are not published; registry information beyond country of registration is not disclosed in the provided data. The airframe’s known technical pedigree ties it to Cessna (Textron Aviation) production of the late 1980s, and the listed market valuation stands at $727,543, a figure that reflects age, configuration variability and prevailing market factors. No additional notable registry actions or named ownership transfers are recorded in the supplied dataset.
This airframe is configured within the fixed-wing multi-engine category and, as a Citation III, typically supports a long, narrow corporate cabin arrangement suitable for transcontinental or point-to-point regional missions; specific seat count for N232TA is not published in the provided data. Avionics fit for this airframe is reported as typically Honeywell Primus II or subject to aftermarket upgrades, and actual fitment may vary by airframe and owner modernization choices. Typical mission profiles for the model include high-speed cruise at medium altitude for corporate transport or on-demand charter work over sectors up to its 1,950 nm range. Maintenance and cabin amenity specifics for N232TA are not supplied, so considerations remain conditional on owner refits and maintenance history.
The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies the high-performance light-to-medium corporate jet niche of its era, offering high cruise speeds (here 461 kts) and a service ceiling up to 51,000 ft, supported by two Honeywell TFE731-series turbofans. Competing models historically included other late-1980s corporate jets with similar transcontinental capability; buyer and charter demand for airframes like N232TA hinges on avionics modernization, interior refurbishment and engine time/status. Given the listed valuation of $727,543, resale and maintenance considerations for this individual airframe will be strongly influenced by documented maintenance, refit level and compliance with any optional avionics or structural service bulletins.
