Model & Market Context
This airframe, bearing tail number N50TW, is a 1999-built Cessna 650 Citation VII with manufacturer serial 650-7097. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the Oklahoma City–based corporation WHITE SANDS AVIATION LLC. Registry annotations show a 12-seat capacity even though the installed executive cabin commonly reflects a 7–8 passenger club configuration; the airframe is currently valued at $1,500,000. Notable registry activity includes the documented corporate ownership transfer to WHITE SANDS AVIATION LLC, and the aircraft’s condition and valuation reflect typical late-1990s Citation VII examples maintained for corporate or private use.
The installed cabin for this airframe is an executive layout, commonly arranged as a 7–8 passenger club configuration while retaining the registry annotation for 12 seats, a detail relevant for operational planning and weight-and-balance records. The avionics fit typical for Citation VII installations is a Honeywell SPZ-8000 suite, supporting long-range corporate missions and high-altitude cruise to the certified service ceiling of 51,000 ft. With a maximum cruise of 417 kts and a ferry/mission range of 2,220 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and longer single-leg business trips from its Oklahoma City base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include typical support for TFE731-series engines and avionics lifecycle items consistent with a 1999 manufacture date and its documented valuation.
The Cessna 650 Citation VII occupies the upper light to mid-size business jet niche within the Citation family, combining high-altitude capability and transcontinental range for corporate operators seeking speed and flexibility. Competing models in its vintage class include other late-1990s medium light jets with similar TBO and maintenance profiles; buyer demand for well-equipped and well-maintained examples is influenced by installed avionics like the Honeywell SPZ-8000 and documented seating/regulatory annotations. Resale and operational economy for this airframe will reflect its 1999 age, the condition implied by a $1,500,000 valuation, ongoing engine maintenance needs for the TFE731-4R series, and the appeal of an executive cabin layout that can accommodate up to 12 seats on the registry.
