N454AC

The airframe bearing registration N454AC is a 1997-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial number 501-0015, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is recorded as owned by McClain Enterprises and carries a United States civil registration. No public record of prior operators or significant registry actions is indicated in the supplied data; the airframe has a typical corporate ownership record associated with single-owner management. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset; the aircraft retains its original-era avionics fitment and factory configuration as delivered.

The airframe is outfitted with a typical five-passenger executive cabin layout configured to operator specifications, reflecting a light corporate shuttle and owner-flown mission profile. The installed avionics suite is the original-era Collins Pro Line fitment, consistent with late-model Citation I/SP deliveries and implying legacy panel ergonomics and systems requiring established maintenance practices. Operationally, the Citation I/SP airframe like N454AC is suited to short- to medium-range point-to-point business missions up to its published 1,328 nm range and cruise speeds near 357 kts, frequently flown from regional business airports to major hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft include support for JT15D-1 engines and avionics sustainment of an original Collins Pro Line installation.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business jet niche as a single-pilot-capable, twin-engine turbofan platform offering rapid climb to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and efficient cruise performance. In the used market it competes with contemporary light jets of the 1980s–1990s era; buyers and charter operators typically prioritize airframe condition, engine time, and avionics modernity. For N454AC, continued competitiveness in resale or charter roles will hinge on engine life remaining on the Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1 units and potential upgrades from the original Collins Pro Line avionics to meet current airspace and operator requirements.
