N312NC

This airframe, registered as N312NC, is a 1981-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0290. It is recorded in U.S. registry ownership by DIVA AIR LLC, an LLC based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, which is the listed operator/home base for the aircraft. Registry entries note an 8-seat configuration recorded and a typical 6–8-place executive layout, while specific cabin refit history is unknown. Valuation and current condition details are not published in the provided data.

The airframe operates in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and, per registry, carries an executive interior consistent with a six- to eight-place club or conference arrangement; the registry specifically records 8 seats while noting that a specific cabin refit is unknown. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter flights consistent with the aircraft’s near-2,000 nm range and 403 kt cruise speed. Based on the listed owner location in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, operations are likely centered on U.S.-domestic regional routes, with the airframe capable of higher-altitude routing up to a 43,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofan support and the airframe’s early-1980s vintage, with inspection and component life-cycle attention typical for Citation IIs of this era.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering higher cruise speed and range relative to earlier Citation models while retaining single-aisle executive cabin flexibility. Competing models in the same era and mission profile include light jets from other manufacturers aimed at owner-operators and fractional/charter operators; buyer demand historically focuses on airframes with well-documented maintenance records and interior condition. For this specific serial (550-0290, built 1981), resale and continued operation considerations hinge on documented avionics fit, cabin refurbishment status, and the service history associated with its JT15D-4 engines.
