N4AT

The airframe bearing tail number N4AT is a 1997-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo, serial 550-0805, currently documented to be owned by GIFFORD DAVID K of Newton, MA, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and appears in available records as a single privately held individual-owner airframe based at that location. Ownership is recorded to an individual owner rather than a corporate operator, and valuation entries list a market worth of $1,842,571, reflecting condition and market factors typical for late-1990s light business jets of this configuration. No other transfers, liens, or notable registry actions are reported in the provided data.

This specific Citation Bravo is fitted with a 7–8 place executive cabin layout that includes an enclosed lavatory and forward cabin seating typical of the Bravo configuration, accommodating up to 8 occupants in executive seating. The airframe is reported to carry Honeywell/Primus EFIS equipment consistent with Bravo-era EFIS upgrades reported, delivering a modernized flight deck compared with original analog installations. Typical operations for this airframe focus on short-to-mid-range business missions within its 2,000 nm range and cruise capability near 403 kts, with routine basing and missions likely originating from its Newton, Massachusetts operator location. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A twin-engine systems and the common inspection/overhaul cycles of late-model Citation Bravos.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo represented a light business jet niche emphasizing efficient short-to-mid-range point-to-point transport, with this example showing performance to FL430 and cruise speeds around 403 kts. In the secondary market, aircraft of this vintage are evaluated on avionics upgrades (notably the Honeywell/Primus EFIS fit noted), engine cycles, and interior configuration, all factors influencing resale and charter demand reflected in the $1,842,571 valuation. Competing models in the class prioritize similar range and cabin comfort; owners and buyers typically weigh maintenance status of the PW530A engines and refurbishment of the 7–8 place executive cabin when assessing operating cost and residual value.
