Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N501NZ is a 1981-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, constructor serial 501-0225. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by TBD MANUFACTURING LLC, an LLC based in Chicago, IL, US. The aircraft’s documented status reflects an in-service configuration with upgraded avionics and an executive interior; its market valuation is listed at $791,000. No additional public registry events or multiple-operator history are recorded in the supplied data.
The specific airframe is outfitted in an executive six-passenger layout with six executive seats, an aft lavatory and dual writing tables as described in the example listing for this aircraft. Avionics on this example include a typical upgraded fitment: dual Garmin G600 with synthetic vision, dual GTN-750 WAAS navigators, dual GTX-33ES transponders, a Sperry SPZ-500 IFR autopilot, RDR-2100 weather radar and ADS‑B capability. Typical mission profiles for this light business jet airframe include short- to mid-range executive transport within its quoted 1,328 nm range and higher-altitude, efficiency-favored cruise to its service ceiling of 41,000 ft at approximately 357 kts. Operator base is indicated as Chicago, Illinois, via the listed owner; maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Pratt & Whitney JT15D turbofan program requirements and the airframe’s early-1980s production pedigree.
The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business jet segment as an early 1980s twinfan design offering transcontinental short-haul capability for small corporate groups. It competes historically with contemporaries in the light jet class that emphasize runway performance and efficiency over long-range intercontinental capability. Buyer and charter demand for this specific airframe will be influenced by the upgraded avionics package, executive cabin condition, engine program status and the valuation at $791,000, while resale considerations include ongoing maintenance costs for older airframes and parts/maintenance availability tied to the JT15D engine family.
