N534H

This entry covers airframe N534H, a Cessna 650 Citation III built in 1991 with manufacturer serial 650-0196. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by HEC AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Shelbyville, TN, US, which represents the primary documented operator and home base association for this airframe. The aircraft’s registry and ownership have been characterized by its current single-entity ownership under HEC AVIATION LLC, and contemporary condition and valuation assessments list the airframe at $1,100,000, reflecting its age, capability, and market position.

The airframe configured as N534H typically accommodates up to 12 seats in a corporate or executive layout common to Citation III interiors, providing a cabin suitable for short to transcontinental business missions. Based from Shelbyville, Tennessee by its owner/operator HEC AVIATION LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile would routinely include medium-range point-to-point charters or corporate transport within its published 2,348 nm range and long cruise legs near 423 kts. Avionics fit and interior specifics for this serial are not published here; maintenance considerations center on Garrett TFE731-series twin engines that are widely supported but require lifecycle tracking and hot-section inspections consistent with late-model turbofan practice. The aircraft’s operational envelope to 51,000 ft permits high-altitude routing and improved fuel efficiency on long legs while demanding adherence to high-altitude systems checks.

The Cessna 650 Citation III family occupies a high-performance super-mid light business jet niche characterized by its transcontinental range, high cruising speed, and high-altitude capability. Competing models in the same era include other late 1980s–1990s super-midsize business jets; buyer demand typically emphasizes mission profile, engine time, and avionics pedigree. For an airframe like N534H, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine shop visits, avionics updates, and corrosion/structural inspections associated with airframes of 1991 manufacture, which in turn influence the listed market value of $1,100,000.
