N513TS

This entry covers airframe N513TS, a Cessna 650 Citation VII built in 1999 with serial number 650-7096. The aircraft is U.S.-registered (US) and, as recorded in available data, has no published owner name, type, or location — ownership details have not been published. There is no public record here of operator or home-base changes, notable registry actions, or condition appraisals for this specific airframe; condition and valuation highlights are therefore not published. Historic or transactional notes for this tail are limited to its factory identity and common equipment fit typical of VII-series examples.

The cabin of N513TS is presented in a typical eight-place executive club/divan layout with a belted lavatory, though the configuration may vary by refit and individual owner modifications. Avionics on many Citation VII examples — and typical for this airframe — comprise a Honeywell five-tube EFIS complemented by an SPZ-8000 autopilot installation, supporting precision flight operations and modern cockpit situational awareness for its era. With a design cruise near 417 knots and a long-range capability of approximately 2,038 nm, mission profiles for this airframe would commonly include transcontinental U.S. legs or medium-haul international hops for business travel. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine turbofan programs of the period, including scheduled engine and avionics checks tied to the Honeywell TFE731 series and EFIS/autopilot systems.

The Cessna 650 Citation VII occupies the high-performance light-medium business jet niche within Textron’s Citation family, emphasizing speed, altitude capability, and transcontinental range versus smaller Citation models. With a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and twin TFE731-4R powerplants producing 4,080 lbf each, it competes against contemporaries such as the Bombardier Challenger light-cabin variants and early Gulfstream entry-level types on speed and altitude while offering lower operating cost than larger cabins. Buyer and charter demand for VII-series airframes typically targets owner-operators and charter companies seeking high-speed point-to-point capability; resale and maintenance factors center on engine time, avionics upgrades (EFIS/autopilot modernization), and interior refit history, all of which materially affect marketability of a 1999-built airframe like N513TS.
