N299CX

The airframe bearing tail number N299CX is a 2009-built Cessna 750 Citation X (serial 750-0299) manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered to and owned by CONTRAILS II INC, a corporation based in Kerrville, Texas, and the FAA registration lists the operator and home base accordingly. The frame is a US-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet with a marketed executive interior and an assessed market value of $5,995,000. Registry and marketing materials record both its production serial and its advertised cabin/avionics upgrades, which are notable for buyer and operator records.

This specific Citation X is marketed with an eight-place double-club executive cabin featuring a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory according to broker/specification sheets; however, FAA registration documents list the aircraft as configured with 12 seats. Avionics and mission equipment for this airframe are identified on marketing materials as a Honeywell Primus Elite (DU-875) upgrade, with WAAS/LPV-capable flight management and ADS-B Out capability noted, supporting modern RNAV approaches and airspace compliance. Typical missions for this airframe type and equipage focus on high-speed, long-range corporate transport and owner/operator charter work out of its Kerrville, Texas base, leveraging its 3,460 nm range and 528 kt cruise for transcontinental or nonstop regional routings. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft would follow Citation X inspection programs and engine-specific shop visit cycles for the AE 3007C1 powerplants.

The Cessna 750 Citation X occupies a performance niche as one of the fastest business jets in its class, distinguished by a high cruise speed and 51,000 ft service ceiling versus competitors aimed at the long-range high-speed market. Competing models in the segment include other long-range, high-speed business jets where demand is driven by buyers seeking rapid point-to-point travel and greater time savings. For this specific airframe, resale and operating considerations center on documented avionics upgrades, the dual-role cabin/seat discrepancy between marketing and FAA records, and lifecycle costs tied to AE 3007C1 engine maintenance and Citation X structural/airframe inspections.
