N308GL

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N308GL, a Cessna S550 Citation S/II built in 1985 with manufacturer's serial number S550-0036. The airframe is recorded as owned by POLLARD AIRCRAFT SALES INC (a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX) and has an ownership history concentrated with that corporate operator; no other registries or transfers are listed in the provided data. The airframe's listed valuation is $856,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and market position among light business jets of its era. Documented technical condition and maintenance status are not published beyond the factory and avionics fit details supplied.

The cabin is configured in an eight-passenger executive layout: forward two aft-facing club seats, a mid four-place club, aft two forward-facing club seats and an aft belted lavatory seat, providing a conventional Citation S/II executive arrangement for short- to mid-range business missions. Avionics installed on this airframe include Collins Pro Line II with dual Garmin GTN-750Xi navigators, weather and surveillance equipment comprising Garmin GWX-75 weather radar, Garmin GTX 345 and GTX 335 transponders, Skywatch 899 TCAS I and Bendix/King TAWS (KGP-560 EPWS). Typical mission profiles for this fitted aircraft would be point-to-point corporate or charter hops up to its 1,998 nm range at an economical cruise near 403 kts, operating from a U.S. base consistent with corporate registration. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on aging JT15D-4B turbofans and avionics integration upkeep typical for retrofitted Pro Line II/modern Garmin mixes.

The Cessna S550 Citation S/II occupies the light twinjet niche as an earlier-generation light business jet offering moderate speed and transcontinental-lite range, with a service ceiling of 43,000 ft and seating for 8. Competing types historically include early-model Learjet and British Aerospace fanjets of similar vintage; buyer and charter demand for such airframes often depends on completeness of avionics upgrades and engine time remaining. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe emphasize the effects of age, the condition of Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4B engines, and the value uplift provided by the documented Collins Pro Line II and dual Garmin avionics suite.
