N528DX

This entry covers airframe N528DX, a Cessna 550 Citation Bravo built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 550-0906. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by XITP LLC, an LLC based in Newark, Delaware, which appears in current registry records as the listed operator/home base. The Bravo airframe retains its original Pratt & Whitney Canada turbofan installations and shows a market valuation reported at $2,200,000, reflecting its position as a mature, well-documented example of the type. Notable registry actions include its continued US registration and ownership under XITP LLC, with no additional historic operators published in the supplied data.

N528DX is fitted in a typical Citation Bravo executive interior, described as a 7–8 place executive club layout with a forward galley and a belted lavatory consistent with common Bravo configurations. The aircraft’s avionics fit is noted as the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, which is typical for many Bravos though some may later receive FMS upgrades; this installation supports standard regional business-jet navigation and flight-management tasks. With a long-range of 1,744 nm and a cruise near 399 kts, N528DX is well suited to short international hops or domestic point-to-point business missions from its Newark, DE base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with older-bravo lifecycle items—engine AHRS/inspections and avionics upgrade paths—given its 2000 build year and typical Bravo equipment.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies a light business-jet niche focused on efficient regional travel, offering single-pilot capability and transcontinental short-haul performance for eight passengers. Competing models in its era include variants of the Beechjet 400/400A and early Embraer Phenom/Legacy light jets; resale and buyer demand for Bravos hinges on maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and engine time—factors directly relevant to a 2000-built airframe like N528DX. The reported value of $2,200,000 reflects market expectations for well-maintained Bravos with original PW530A powerplants and typical Primus 1000 avionics pending modernization.
