Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N368HS, is a 1999-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0889. The airframe is registered in the United States and is currently owned by TAYLOR AVIATION LLC of Virginia Beach, VA. Its two-engine configuration and late-1990s build place it within a mature Citation Bravo fleet frequently used by small corporate operators and charter companies. Publicly available records of recent major registry actions or valuation statements for this specific tail are not published.

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical executive 6–8 place club configuration with a forward refreshment area and an aft lavatory, although the actual interior may vary by refurbishment undertaken by the owner. Avionics commonly fitted to Bravos include the Honeywell Primus 1000; this airframe would be consistent with that fit, with the note that some Bravos have later been refitted with the UNS-1K FMS. Typical missions for this platform operated from a base such as Virginia Beach include short- to medium-range corporate or charter flights across the eastern United States and into the Caribbean, utilizing the aircraft’s cruise speed and range for point-to-point executive transport. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with older Citation Bravos: aging avionics upgrade potential and scheduled engine and airframe inspections per Pratt & Whitney and Textron maintenance programs.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies a light-medium business jet niche, valued for straightforward operation, efficient fuel burn for its era, and airport performance. Competing models include light jets such as the Learjet 31/35 series and the Beechjet/Hawker 400 family. Buyer and charter demand typically favors well-maintained Bravos with updated avionics and interiors; resale considerations for this 1999 airframe will reflect its maintenance history, engine cycles on the PW530A engines, and any avionics or cabin refurbishments performed by the owner.
