N501MX

The airframe bearing tail number N501MX is a 1977-built Cessna 500 Citation I, serial 500-0361, recorded on U.S. civil registers. The aircraft is held by Global Aircraft Trust Inc Trustee in a trust ownership structure and is registered in the US; no additional operator or home-base information was published in the supplied data. Regulatory or notable registry actions beyond the current ownership were not provided. The airframe is reported with an indicative market valuation of $399,000, with no separate condition or maintenance history disclosed in the supplied dataset.

The aircraft is fitted in an executive configuration described as an executive 5-place typical Citation I layout; listings for owner/charter configuration report 5 passengers. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities were not published in the supplied data, so no equipment list or interiors finish details are available here. Typical mission profiles consistent with the airframe’s capabilities would include short- to medium-haul executive transport within the aircraft’s 1,328 nm range, operating from regional and business airports; specific route usage and operator base were not provided. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe were not disclosed beyond the ownership and valuation information included above.

As a first-generation Citation, the Cessna 500 Citation I occupies a light twin-jet niche characterized by modest capacity and relatively conservative performance metrics compared with later Citations; this airframe’s cruise of 345 kts and ceiling of 41,000 ft reflect that family’s design intent. Competing models in the light business-jet segment historically include other late-1970s and 1980s small-cabin jets; buyer and charter demand for this specific airframe will be influenced by age, systems modernization, and the reported market value of $399,000. Resale and maintenance considerations for an airframe of this vintage typically hinge on engine program status, avionics upgrades, and structural/maintenance records, none of which were specified in the provided data.
