Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N501WL is a 1979-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial 501-0135, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE 1 CORP, a corporation based in Eastvale, CA, US, which serves as its primary operator/home base. Registry records for this specific airframe show its build year and serial as primary identifiers; no additional notable registry actions beyond ownership registration are published. Valuation records list the airframe at $3,503,483, reflecting its market position among late-1970s small-cabin business jets.
N501WL is fitted with an operator-configured executive cabin typical of a small-cabin arrangement, accommodating a 5–8 place layout with the documented seating capacity of 8. The combination of its 1,328 nm range and 357 kts cruise speed positions the aircraft for short- to medium-range corporate missions and point-to-point executive transport from its Eastvale, CA base. Specific avionics fit and unique interior amenities for this individual airframe are not published; routine maintenance considerations would center on its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 engines and systems consistent with a 1979-built Citation airframe. The documented maximum operating ceiling for this airframe is 41,000 ft, supporting high-altitude cruise profiles common to business missions.
As a Cessna 501 Citation I/SP airframe produced by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) in 1979, N501WL represents the small-cabin, fixed-wing multi-engine segment designed for corporate transport with a modest eight-seat configuration. Its performance numbers — 357 kts cruise, 1,328 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling — define its operational niche for regional executive missions. The listed value of $3,503,483 provides a reference point for resale and insurance considerations for similar vintage Citation I/SP airframes, with maintenance focus expected on legacy systems and the twin JT15D-1 powerplants.
