N501CP

This entry covers airframe N501CP, a Cessna 501 Citation I/SP manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and built in 1977 with serial number 501-0034. The aircraft is currently registered to the corporate owner P AND D PARTNERSHIP II LLC, based in Oro Valley, AZ, US, and is operated from that location. The airframe’s original 1977 build and continuous corporate ownership are the primary historical notes available for this registration; no additional public registry actions or valuation records are published for this specific tail in the supplied data.

The cabin of N501CP is fitted in an executive layout with 8-place seating, configured for business or corporate transport missions. With a cruise speed of 352 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft, the airframe is suited to medium-range point-to-point flights, typically conducted from its operator base in Oro Valley, AZ, US. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 engines provide the thrust profile consistent with light business jets of its era, supporting typical short- to medium-range corporate missions up to 1,328 nm. Specific avionics fit, interior finish details, and recent maintenance status are not published in the provided data.

As a member of the Citation I/SP family, the Cessna 501 Citation I/SP represented an early-generation light business jet offering twin-engine performance and an 8-place executive cabin. Its cruise speed of 352 kts, range of 1,328 nm, and service ceiling of 41,000 ft position it for owners seeking efficient regional point-to-point capability. Given the aircraft’s original 1977 build year and legacy engine type (JT15D-1), maintenance and parts availability, airframe age, and historical service records are the principal considerations influencing resale and operator demand for this specific airframe.
