N501WJ

This entry describes a single airframe, the business turbofan conversion registered as N501WJ, a Cessna 501 Citation I/SP (Stallion conversion) built in 1980 with serial number 501-0143. The airframe is recorded as owned by N501WJ LLC, an LLC based in Sylvania, OH, US, and has been operated from that home base in private/charter roles. The registration and ownership are recorded under N501WJ LLC in U.S. civil registry records, with no public record here of prior owners or major incident history. Available registry notes emphasize its converted propulsion and interior configuration rather than recent valuation or damage history.

The cabin of this specific airframe is an FAA-recorded 8-place executive layout, configured to transport up to eight passengers in executive seating and intended for short to medium-haul corporate missions. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities are Not published in the supplied data, but the installation of twin Williams FJ44-2A turbofans and a Stallion conversion implies improved fuel efficiency and performance compared with original-spec Citation I powerplants, affecting range and operating economics. Typical missions for this airframe type and configuration include regional business trips and on-demand charter flights from its operator base in Sylvania, OH to destinations within the 1,300 nm range, generally at cruise speeds near 375 kts. Maintenance considerations center on the conversion-specific systems and aftermarket engine support for the FJ44 series.

The airframe is a converted member of the Cessna Citation I lineage, identified here as a Cessna 501 Citation I/SP (Stallion conversion), which occupies a niche for light-cabin executive jets offering higher cruise speeds and improved range after turbofan upgrades. Competing models in the light-cabin segment include earlier Citation variants and light-corporate jets from other manufacturers, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating economy, cabin size, and field performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by the aftermarket conversion and the availability of support for the Williams FJ44-2A engines, as well as the airframe’s serial (501-0143) and year (1980) pedigree.
