N46PJ

The airframe bearing tail number N46PJ is a Cessna-built Cessna 551 Citation II/SP completed in 1978 with manufacturer serial 551-0027. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by WORLDWIDE OPTION LLC, an LLC based in Lewes, DE, US; this ownership represents the most recent documented change in title. The airframe’s single-pilot certification as a II/SP and its continued US registration are the most salient registry details for operators and insurers. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to registry and configuration data on file.

This specific Citation II/SP is outfitted in a typical executive layout accommodating seven to eight passengers, consistent with its single-pilot certified II/SP configuration; the cabin is noted as a standard executive arrangement rather than a high-density or freight interior. Typical mission profiles for the airframe include transcontinental and regional business trips within its approximately 2,000 nm range and cruise speeds near 375 kts, operating from its owner’s US base in Delaware and similar East Coast hubs. Avionics fit and interior finish details for this serial are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations align with twin JT15D-4 powerplants and the airframe’s vintage, including systems and component life-limited parts that affect dispatch reliability.

The Cessna 551 Citation II/SP occupies a light to light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability at relatively high cruise speed for its generation and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Competing models historically include other late-1970s to 1980s light jets with similar seating and range; buyer and charter demand tends to favor examples with upgraded avionics and well-documented maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1978 serial emphasize engine life remaining on JT15D-4 units, corrosion control, and the cost of modernizing cockpit systems to meet current charter and insurance requirements.
