N331BR

This airframe, registered as N331BR, is a 1999-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra (Citation V) with serial number 560-0530, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by the Houston-based corporation BUFFALO BAYOU AIR LLC. The airframe’s documented market value is $1,700,000, reflecting its late-1990s vintage and configuration. Registered to a corporate operator in Houston, TX, the aircraft’s registry and valuation notes indicate a typical owner/operator profile for light midsize executive jets.

The cabin of N331BR is outfitted in a typical seven‑place executive layout with club seating, a forward refreshment center/galley, and an enclosed aft lavatory; pull‑out tables are reported as part of the fit. Avionics installations for this airframe follow common factory or retrofit standards and are reported as Honeywell Primus 1000 in typical configurations, although specific avionics fits may vary by retrofit history. Operationally, the airframe’s combination of a 1,960 nm range and 430 kt cruise speed suits short- to medium-range corporate and charter missions from its Houston base, enabling efficient regional hops and point-to-point executive transport. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect its production year and Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines, with upkeep and avionics retrofits likely important factors for continued operational reliability.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra (Citation V) occupies the light-to-midsize turbofan business jet niche, offering fast cruise and high single-pilot capability relative to older piston or turboprop options. Competitors typically include other light-to-midsize executive jets with similar speed and range profiles; buyer and charter demand for this model often centers on owners seeking efficient regional capability with a proven airframe. At a listed value of $1,700,000 for this 1999 serial 560-0530, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine cycles, avionics retrofits such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, and the condition of the executive cabin interior.
