N311ME

This entry covers airframe N311ME, a 1979-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP with serial number 501-0118. The aircraft is owned by Eskimo Brothers LLC, a limited liability company based in Helena, MT, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe retains its original engine type and is generally described in available records as a mature late‑1970s business jet with an estimated current market value of $600,000. No additional notable registry actions or previous owners are published in the supplied data.

The cabin on this airframe is described as a typical five–to‑eight place executive layout; the Cessna 501 Citation I/SP airframe is certified for single‑pilot operation, though individual refits may vary seating and finish. Operated from Helena, MT, US by Eskimo Brothers LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short- to medium‑range executive transport and owner/operator business travel within its 1,328 nm range and cruise of 357 kts. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this serial are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations center on preserving original Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D‑1A engines and airframe systems typical for a 1979 model.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies a light business jet niche characterized by modest operating costs and single‑pilot capability in its certification, appealing to owner/operators and small charter operations. With original JT15D-1A powerplants producing 2,200 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, this model competes with contemporaries in range and cruise performance for point‑to‑point executive transport. Market demand and resale considerations for this specific airframe reflect its vintage (1979 manufacture), configuration variability, and the estimated value of $600,000, factors prospective buyers weigh alongside maintenance status and engine program history.
