Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N505BB, is a 1983 Cessna 501 Citation ISP (Citation SP) with serial number 501-0323. The airframe is owned by Urban Wings LLC, an LLC based in San Antonio, TX, US, and is registered in the US. Reported listings and broker materials note avionics upgrades and a current operator base in San Antonio, with sale brochures and broker listings used to summarize condition and configuration details.
The cabin of this specific Citation ISP is reported with four-club seating forward and a two-place divan aft, together with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, reflecting the typical 7–8 passenger layout for the model. Avionics for this airframe were reportedly upgraded per broker listing, including a Garmin suite such as Garmin G600, dual GTN-750W, GDU-620 EFIS, and GTX transponders listed in sale materials. Typical missions for this airframe align with light business jet roles—short to medium-range corporate and owner-flown trips—leveraging the aircraft’s continental range and high cruise speed. Based in San Antonio, TX, the operator profile and cabin fit suggest usage for regional executive transport, charter work or owner-operator operations; maintenance considerations would follow older-generation Pratt & Whitney JT15D engine support and avionics upgrade histories as noted in broker documentation.
The Cessna 501 Citation ISP (Citation SP) occupies the light business jet niche with performance targeted at high-speed, short-to-medium intercity missions and a 41,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models historically include other light jets of the early 1980s and later upgraded Citation variants; demand among buyers and charter operators typically focuses on airframe condition, avionics modernization, and engine-time status. For this airframe, the positively reported Garmin upgrades and the single-owner LLC registration are relevant resale considerations, while continued Pratt & Whitney JT15D support and airframe corrosion/aging inspections are typical maintenance factors for aircraft of this vintage.
