N404BY

This airframe, registered as N404BY, is a 1988-built Cessna 650 Citation III with serial number 650-0152. The aircraft is recorded as owned by MALAGAMAR LLC, an LLC based in Columbia Station, OH, US, and operates on the U.S. registry. The airframe’s build year and serial place it in the later production run of Citation III examples; ownership and registry data indicate corporate/operator use rather than individual recreational ownership. Recent publicly noted valuation places the airframe at $799,667, providing a snapshot of its market standing and implied maintenance/condition considerations for prospective operators or lessees.

The cabin for this Citation III is configured in a typical executive layout of 8–12 places with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, offering approximately 422 cu ft of cabin volume suitable for corporate missions and business travel. Avionics fit is representative of the model with Sperry/Honeywell SPZ-series autopilot/flight director equipment and Collins ProLine radios typical to the fleet; many airframes, including examples of this serial block, receive avionics upgrades over their service life. Operationally, the aircraft’s range of 2,054 nm and cruise speed of 418 kts support transcontinental U.S. missions and medium-haul international hops typical of owner-operators or charter services based from its home location in Columbia Station, Ohio. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe would reflect its age, twin TFE731 engine cycle history, and any avionics modernization undertaken by MALAGAMAR LLC.

The Cessna 650 Citation III family fills a high-performance midsize-cabin niche with transcontinental capability and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, competing historically with late-model Dassault Falcon 10/20 derivatives and early-generation Gulfstream and Learjet types. Demand in the used market tends to favor examples with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance; the shown valuation of $799,667 for this 1988 airframe reflects typical depreciation patterns, engine/airframe hours, and the appeal of a 12-seat executive interior. Prospective buyers or charter operators evaluate such airframes for operating economics, spare-parts availability for TFE731-powered twins, and the cost-benefit of avionics and interior refurbishment.
