N531TH

This airframe, registered as N531TH, is a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 2001 with serial number 550-0990. The airframe is registered to CRIMSON SKIES LLC, an LLC based in Pelham, AL, US, which is the current documented owner and operator. No notable registry actions or public valuation/condition highlights have been published for this specific airframe. The aircraft retains its original factory designation within the Cessna/Textron Aviation lineage and shows the standard configuration and equipment associated with many early-2000s Bravo examples.

The cabin of N531TH follows the typical 7-place executive layout with a forward galley/refreshment center and an airstair entry, configured for compact corporate transport and light charter work. The aircraft is commonly equipped with Honeywell avionics: this airframe carries the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite as a common Bravo fit, with the acknowledgement that some Bravos have received Universal UNS-1K or later retrofit options. Typical mission profiles for this Bravo include short-to-medium range corporate hops and point-to-point regional missions within its 1,744 nm range capability, operating from the documented home base in Pelham, AL and surrounding markets. Maintenance considerations align with the PW530A engine commonality and Citation Bravo airframe schedules; the compact executive interior and forward galley support executive missions while keeping weight and utilization compatible with the model’s performance envelope.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies a light-cabin business jet niche, offering efficient cruise speeds around 342 kts and a service ceiling to 45,000 ft, appealing to owner-operators and charter operators seeking a balance of operating cost and performance. Competing models in the same era include light jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and Hawker (smaller variants), with the Bravo noted for straightforward systems and a well-established maintenance network through Textron service centers. Resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on avionics retrofit histories (Primus 1000 versus UNS-1K upgrades), airframe hours, and PW530A engine shop visit history — factors that materially affect market demand for a 2001 Bravo like N531TH.
