N255TC

This airframe, registered as N255TC, is a 1990-built Cessna 550 Citation II with manufacturer listed as Cessna (Textron Aviation) and serial number 550-0638. The aircraft is owned by LANDHAWK AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Lewes, DE, US, which appears as the primary operator/home base on registry records provided. Notable registry and listing information for this airframe has highlighted updated avionics mixes and interior refurbishment notes in sales descriptions, and listings have reported avionics and cabin upgrades rather than factory-original configuration. Condition and valuation details were described in listing narratives, focusing on executive interior condition and avionics updates rather than airframe discrepancies.

The installed cabin for this airframe is an executive 7–8 place layout with a forward refreshment center and an aft flushing lavatory, as reported in listing descriptions, providing typical light-corporate comfort for short- to mid-range missions. Avionics fits reported across sales/listings include a mix of systems such as Sperry Primus 650 weather radar, Garmin GTN-625 GPS, Collins communication/navigation suite and Honeywell KGP-560 EGPWS; updated suites have been reported on sale listings. Typical operations for this airframe align with business charter and owner-operator corporate transport within a roughly 1,900 nm mission radius at cruise speeds near 384 kts and operations into mid-altitude flight levels up to 43,000 ft. Maintenance notes in listings emphasize standard Citation II structural and engine support programs alongside avionics upgrade pathways.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light to midsize turbofan business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability in the light-jet segment with efficient twin JT15D powerplants producing 2,500 lbf each. Competing aircraft in the same market bracket are typically other late-model light jets offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand for an executive-configured airframe like this commonly centers on cost-effective short- to medium-haul executive transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include the typical Citation II focus on engine program availability, avionics modernization (as noted in listings), and interior refurbishment to sustain charter or corporate appeal.
