Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N324L, is a 1981-built Cessna 501 Citation ISP (Citation I/SP) with serial number 501-0197. The airframe is owned by NLH AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in College Station, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The aircraft is appraised at $600,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and avionics fit; no other registry actions or changes of operator are published in the supplied data.
The cabin of this specific airframe is arranged in an executive layout seating a total of 8, with aft-facing barrel seats, a mid-cabin four-place club, forward/aft-facing seats and an aft lavatory, suitable for corporate transport or owner-operated business missions. The avionics suite is modernized for the platform and includes dual Garmin G600 PFDs, Garmin 530/430 WAAS, KMD-850 MFD with radar/traffic integration, Honeywell RDR-2100 weather radar, Honeywell KMH-980 EGPWS, TCAS-I, dual Garmin GTX transponders and ADS-B In/Out capability, supporting IFR and airspace compliance. Typical operations for this airframe would emphasize short- to mid-range executive trips from its home base in College Station, TX, taking advantage of its cruise speed and 1,326 nm range for regional to transcontinental legs when paired with strategic fuel stops. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on aging-structure inspections, JT15D-1 engine support, and avionics lifecycle updates despite the comprehensive fit.
The Cessna 501 Citation ISP (Citation I/SP) occupies the light-to-medium business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds and a 41,000 ft ceiling for efficient routed flight. Competing models in similar missions include entry-level Citation variants and other light twins; buyers and charter operators value airframes with upgraded avionics like this example. Resale considerations for a 1981-built airframe at an assessed value of $600,000 include airframe hours, engine cycles on the JT15D-1, current maintenance status, and demand for an executive-configured, well-equipped older Citation in regional markets.
