N497PF

The airframe bearing tail number N497PF is a 2000-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo, serial 550-0964, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by BRAVO AIR LLC, an LLC based in Sellersburg, IN. Registry records identify the operator/home base as the same Sellersburg, Indiana location associated with the owning company. Valuation estimates for this specific airframe place its value at $1,820,093, reflecting its age, configuration and market position among early-2000s light business jets.

This airframe is equipped with an executive interior in the typical Bravo layout, offering an executive 7–8 place interior tailored for business missions and short- to mid-range executive transport. Typical missions for this aircraft profile include regional point-to-point charters, owner-operator business trips and positioning flights within the 1,744 nm range capability at cruise speeds near 400 kts. Operating from its Sellersburg, IN base, the aircraft’s twin PW530A engines provide performance up to a 45,000 ft ceiling, useful for favorable weather avoidance and efficient high-altitude cruise. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect standard Bravo-era systems and engine type common to the fleet; no additional unique equipment or modifications are published for this serial.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range and operating economics relative to contemporaries. Competing models in the same era include other light cabin jets that prioritize short-field performance and efficient regional cruise, driving steady buyer and light-charter demand for well-maintained examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2000 serial emphasize differential value driven by interior condition, service history and engine time on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A powerplants. As reflected in its estimated value of $1,820,093, marketability will hinge on documented maintenance, avionics fit and interior refurbishment status.
