N541S

This entry documents airframe N541S, a Cessna 650 Citation III built in 1986 with serial number 650-0115. The airframe is registered in the US and is currently owned by individual Terry Rider of MS, US; its ownership is recorded as owned by Terry Rider (individual) based in MS, US. The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet with an assessed market value of $4,000,000 and reflects a single-airframe operational history tied to private ownership and regional basing.

Configured to accommodate 11 seats, this Citation III airframe is suited to corporate or private transport missions consistent with its owner-operator profile. Typical mission profiles for this specific airframe would include medium- to long-range point-to-point trips within the continental United States and beyond, exploiting its 2,345 nm range and high-altitude capability to achieve efficient cruise at 423 kts and up to 51,000 ft. Cabin layout and avionics fit for this individual aircraft are not detailed here; maintenance considerations are driven by the Garrett (AiResearch) TFE731-3B series turbofan powerplants and the age of the airframe, which dates to 1986, factors that affect inspection cycles, component life-limits, and market valuation.

As a member of the Citation III family, this airframe occupies a performance niche characterized by high-altitude cruise and transcontinental capability relative to earlier light-cabin designs. Demand among buyers and private owner-operators for aircraft like N541S is influenced by seat count (11), range (2,345 nm), and the platform’s age (1986), which together inform maintenance, upgrade, and resale considerations. The installed TFE731-3B engines and the assessed value of $4,000,000 are central to lifecycle cost and market positioning for prospective purchasers or charter operators evaluating an older Citation III airframe.
