N43BE

The airframe bearing tail number N43BE is a 1979-built Cessna Cessna 551 Citation IISP, serial number 551-0149, with U.S. registration. The airframe is recorded as owned by Computer Service Professionals Inc, a corporation based in Jefferson City, MO, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the jet. The airframe’s documented value is $856,000, reflecting its market position as an older light business jet with continued utility. Registry records note its continuous U.S. registration and corporate ownership, with no other ownership transfers published in the provided data.

The aircraft is configured in a typical 7-passenger executive layout consistent with the model, providing a compact, executive cabin for short- to medium-range corporate missions. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this airframe are not published in the supplied dataset; standard Citation IISP installations commonly support single-pilot operations and basic corporate communications and navigation suites. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 1,220 nm range and 355 kt cruise, include point-to-point regional business travel and short interstate hops from the owner’s base in Jefferson City, Missouri. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet follow light-twin jet practice, with particular emphasis on AD compliance and JT15D-4 engine support programs given the engines’ significance to performance and dispatch reliability.

The Cessna 551 Citation IISP occupies the light business jet niche, offering transregional capability with modest acquisition cost for late-1970s airframes. Competing models in the era and market segment include other light-cabin jets that prioritize speed and runway performance over long-range comfort. Buyer and charter demand for a 1979 IISP is influenced by proven JT15D-4 engine support, the airframe’s remaining avionics modernity, and its price point — here indicated as $856,000 — which factors heavily into resale and continued private corporate operation.
