N2904

This entry covers airframe N2904, a business jet built in 1977 as serial number 501-0036, a Cessna 501 Citation I/SP manufactured by Cessna. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by ATP ENTERPRISES LLC, a corporate owner based in Las Vegas, NV, US, which serves as the de facto operator/home base in available records. A sales listing describes the airplane’s executive interior and avionics fit, noting an executive seven-passenger configuration with an aft divan while also recording nine belted seats in the listing; this dual description is highlighted in registry and marketing materials.

The cabin of N2904 is listed as an executive seven-passenger layout with an aft divan, though the sales listing additionally notes nine belted seats, indicating flexibility for either executive transport or higher-density seating for short sectors. Avionics installed per the listing include a mixed Garmin and legacy suite — Garmin GTN-750, Garmin 430W, Sandel 4550/4500 EFIS, GTN TAWS, Bendix weather radar, Garmin GTX345 ADS-B In/Out, and L3 Skywatch TCAS — supporting modern navigation, surveillance and traffic awareness capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are short- to mid-range executive hops and owner-operator transport from its Las Vegas base; the JT15D turbofan pair provides the performance needed for regional missions and higher-altitude cruise. Maintenance considerations reflect the age of the airframe (1977 manufacture) coupled with avionics upgrades noted in sales material.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light jet niche within Cessna’s early Citation family, offering modest range and high-altitude capability useful for owner-operators and small charter operators. In the used market, examples such as N2904 attract buyers seeking a classic Citation platform with upgraded avionics while balancing the maintenance demands of an airframe from the late 1970s. Resale and operating considerations center on engine program status for the JT15D-1A engines, interior refurbishment choices (seven-passenger executive vs. nine-belted seating), and the value added by the installed Garmin and TCAS/TAS avionics.
