N501MZ

This article covers the specific airframe registered as N501MZ, a Cessna Citation I/SP (Model 501) built in 1979 with serial number 501-0298. The airframe is recorded as owned by NOVEMBER501MIKEZULU LLC (an LLC based in Omaha, NE, US) and is registered in the US. The airframe’s single-owner listing and its certification as the single-pilot I/SP variant are notable registry attributes. Valuation records list the airframe at $600,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position.

The airframe is configured in the typical single-pilot executive layout for the I/SP variant, a 6–8 place cabin arrangement intended for corporate or owner-flown missions. While specific avionics fit for this serial are not listed in the provided data, the I/SP certification denotes systems and layouts approved for single-pilot operation, simplifying crew requirements for the registered operator. Typical mission profiles for this airframe revolve around short- to medium-range executive transport within the continental US, enabled by a maximum range of 1,328 nm and a cruise speed near 350 kts. Routine maintenance and operational planning for this airframe would account for its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1A engines and the airframe’s 1979 build year under ownership of NOVEMBER501MIKEZULU LLC.

The Cessna Citation I/SP (Model 501) occupies the light business jet niche, offering single-pilot certification and modest operating costs relative to larger jets. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and cruise performance of 350 kts, the type competes with contemporaries in the light-jet class for owner-flown missions and short charter legs. Buyers and operators consider factors such as engine maintenance cycles for the JT15D-1A powerplants, the airframe’s older 1979 pedigree, and resale considerations reflected in a listed value of $600,000 for this specific serial. Resale and charter demand typically hinge on completion condition, avionics upgrades, and ownership history, including the current ownership by NOVEMBER501MIKEZULU LLC of Omaha, NE, US.
