Avionics: Original Collins/Honeywell combo reported (Honeywell Primus/Collins comm/nav stack; TCAS II and GPWS reported on some listings; exact fit varies by retrofit).
Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N306PA is a 1984-built Cessna 650 Citation III, serial number 650-0053. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by AEROTRUST SERVICES CORP TRUSTEE (a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US). Operator or home-base details beyond the corporate ownership record are not published; no publicly noted change-of-operator events or major registry incidents are recorded in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.
This specific Citation III is commonly configured in an executive layout accommodating 9–12 passengers, with the dataset noting a typical fit of a forward galley, a mid‑cabin four‑place club arrangement and aft seats with an optional belted lavatory seat in some configurations. The installed avionics are reported as the original Collins/Honeywell combination — described variously as a Honeywell Primus/Collins comm/nav stack — and some listings for airframes of this series show additions such as TCAS II and GPWS; the exact avionics fit for this hull varies by retrofit history. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include medium‑to‑long range executive transport and on‑demand charter trips across continental and transcontinental sectors, leveraging the aircraft’s high cruise speed and long cabin range. Maintenance considerations for this hull would reflect the TFE731 series engine support and the common retrofit path for legacy Collins/Honeywell avionics suites.
The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies a late‑1980s super‑mid cabin niche offering high cruising speed and an elevated service ceiling to compete with contemporary light and mid‑size business jets. Competing models historically include other super‑mid designs of the era; buyer and charter demand for individual airframes hinges on avionics modernization, interior condition, and engine program status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically revolve around the TFE731 engine family support, the airframe’s retrofit history for modern avionics (TCAS II/GPWS options noted), and the condition tied to its corporate trustee ownership record.
