N519VP

The airframe bearing tail number N519VP is a 2002-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo, serial 550-1019. The aircraft is owned by the corporate entity CATALYST AVIATION II LLC, based in Pensacola, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Acquisition and registration under CATALYST AVIATION II LLC reflect corporate operation from a Florida home base, and current market valuation places this airframe at $2,350,000, indicating a maintained mid-life business jet with typical value for the model and year. Operational and registry records for this specific airframe show standard corporate light-jet utilization and a valuation consistent with comparable Bravos from the early 2000s.

This airframe features a typical executive interior offering 6–8 place club seating with a forward refreshment center and a belted aft lavatory, supporting the advertised 8-place capability. Avionics for this Bravo are commonly fitted with the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, consistent with many Bravo retrofit and stock installations, providing a mixed analog/digital flightdeck environment suitable for regional business missions. Based from Pensacola, FL, the aircraft is configured for short to medium-haul point-to-point missions within its 1,744 nm range and high-speed cruise of 342 knots, often used for owner/operator charter or corporate transport. Maintenance considerations align with twin turbofan upkeep and typical Bravo support items, including scheduled engine and avionics checks for the PW530A installations and Primus 1000 systems.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet niche as a cost-effective, efficient twin-fan platform offering transcontinental capability on favorable weight and payload mixes. Competing models historically include light-cabin jets from Learjet and Hawker Beechcraft, where buyers prioritize operating economy and dispatch reliability. Demand in secondary markets favors well-maintained, avionics-upgraded examples; therefore, the presence of a Honeywell Primus 1000 fit and documented corporate ownership can support stronger resaleability. Maintenance and resale considerations focus on PW530A engine cycles, avionics upgrade paths, and the airframe’s 2002 vintage when assessing long-term value and operator return on investment.
