N418RR

This article describes the individual airframe registered as N418RR, a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 550-1048. The airframe is owned by BRAVO 18RR LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe is typically equipped and valued at approximately $2,450,000, reflecting a market position for early-2000s Citation Bravos in operational condition. Registered in the United States and operated under that national registry, the aircraft’s registry and ownership are recorded to the Wilmington-based LLC.

The airframe is configured in a typical Bravo executive interior: an executive 7–8 passenger center-club layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, consistent with standard production Cessna 550B Citation Bravo cabin arrangements. Avionics fit for the airframe is the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS suite as is typical for the Bravo/Primus configuration, supporting conventional IFR operations and regional corporate missions. With a cruise speed near 402 kts and a maximum service ceiling of 43,000 ft, this example is well suited to short- to mid-range business trips, point-to-point charters, and owner-operator missions within its 1,744 nm range. Maintenance considerations align with twin PW530A engine commonality for the type and the airframe’s early-2000s manufacture date, affecting inspection cycles and parts availability for this specific serial 550-1048.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and cabin comfort compared to older citation variants while remaining a cost-effective option relative to newer midsize jets. Competing models in its era include other light corporate jets offering similar range and seating; demand typically comes from owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient regional performance. Resale and maintenance factors for this particular airframe reflect its 2003 build year, installed PW530A engines, and avionics baseline with Honeywell Primus 1000 which can influence modernization options and market valuation around the noted $2,450,000.
