N25FS

This airframe, registered as N25FS, is a 1997 build of the Cessna 550B Citation Bravo bearing serial number 550-0823, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by BRAVO OWNER LLC, an LLC based in San Diego, CA, US, a single listed ownership entity in its public record. There are no additional operators or registry actions noted beyond that ownership; the listing reflects a typical late-1990s Bravo with market valuation and condition summarized for appraisal purposes. As of the provided data the airframe carries an estimated market value of $2,150,000, consistent with mature market pricing for well-maintained Bravos.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive configuration described as a 6–8-place layout permitting up to 8 passengers, reflecting common corporate interior appointments of the model. Avionics for this specific airframe were originally delivered with the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite; many Bravos later received upgrades to systems such as a Universal UNS-1K or similar FMS and optional TCAS II, and similar retrofit paths are applicable to this ship. Operationally the Bravo’s mission profile for this airframe would be short-to-medium international and domestic business travel, exploiting a cruise of 394 kts and a ferry/mission range of 1,744 nm from its San Diego, CA base of ownership. Maintenance considerations align with the twin PW530A engines and aging 1997 airframe service-life items consistent with Category: fixed-wing multi-engine business jets.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo sits in the light-cabin business jet niche, offering modest operating costs, transcontinental regional capability and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models historically include light-cabin jets with similar speed and range profiles; buyer and charter demand typically focuses on cost-effective used-aircraft acquisitions, cabin comfort for up to 8 passengers, and avionics upgrade potential. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1997 Bravo hinge on engine program status for the PW530A engines, avionics modernization (Primus 1000 → UNS-1K or equivalent) and overall records supporting the $2,150,000 valuation.
