N44FR

This airframe, registered as N44FR, is a 1981-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0334. The airframe is recorded as owned by Arkansas Jet Sales & Leasing Llc, a corporate owner based in Gulf Shores, AL, US, and is listed with a U.S. registration (US). Maintenance and transfer history beyond current ownership are not published in the supplied data; the broker-listed valuation for this specific airframe is $699,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and installed equipment. The airframe’s executive VIP interior and avionics complement are central to its operational value and resale considerations.

The airframe is finished in a VIP 7-place executive layout configured for seven passengers plus a lavatory and galley; the cabin includes an aft lavatory, a forward refreshment center, and dual executive tables designed for business travel and short-haul executive missions. Avionics listed for this specific aircraft include Garmin GPS 400, Bendix King KLN 90B, BFG Stormscope WX-950, and a Sperry radar indicator, with TAWS reported in the broker listing, supporting enhanced situational awareness on instrument flights. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would be executive transport and on-demand charter work within the aircraft’s 1,900 nm range and high-altitude capability up to 43,000 ft. Owner/operator base in Gulf Shores suggests regional operations centered in the southeastern United States.

The Cessna 550 Citation II sits within the light to mid-size business jet niche as a twin-engine, fixed-wing multi-engine platform offering transcontinental short-to-medium range capability at moderate cruise speeds and efficient operating economics for its era. Competing models in market segments for similar missions would be older light jets that emphasize low acquisition cost and simple systems. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1981 build year, installed JT15D-4 engines, and the VIP interior; buyers often weigh the cost of avionics upgrades, overhaul status of engines and APU, and refurbishment of cabin furnishings when valuing such aircraft.
