N256CP

The airframe bearing registration N256CP is a 1985-built example of the Cessna Citation S/II (S550), constructor serial S550-0033, maintained in U.S. civil registry. The airframe’s documented ownership is with SKYNET LLC, an LLC based in Chantilly, VA, US, which currently operates or manages the airplane from that locale. Acquired by SKYNET LLC is the principal recorded ownership event in the available data, and the aircraft is listed as U.S.-registered. The airframe is graded in market summaries at approximately $900,000, reflecting its vintage, systems upgrades and typical mid-life maintenance status for S/II examples.

The interior of this Citation S/II is a typical executive seven-place layout with a dedicated refreshment centre and a belted aft lavatory, configured for point-to-point corporate or owner-flown missions. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line II, a common S/II upgrade that supports regional executive operations and improves situational awareness compared with original fitments. With a 1,998 nm range and a 403-knot cruise, assignments typically include medium-haul executive transport, domestic multi-leg charters and owner/operator travel within the contiguous United States from its Chantilly base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe align with S/II norms: turbofan hot-section inspection cycles, avionics upgrade compatibility, and interior refurbishments consistent with its valuation.

The Cessna Citation S/II (S550) occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for the mid-1980s design era and efficient operations for owner/operators. Comparable competitors historically include early Learjet and Hawker 400 series aircraft; the S/II’s cabin appointments and range make it attractive to buyers seeking balance between operating economics and short-field performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial include age-related inspections, aftermarket avionics commonality such as the Collins Pro Line II, and market pricing reflective of airframe condition and systems upgrades, as indicated by the reported $900,000 valuation.
