N550CF

This entry covers airframe N550CF, a 1991-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0669. The airframe is owned by the corporate entity Midwest Aviation Division of Southwest Aviation, Inc., recorded on the United States registry. The airframe’s paperwork and sales listings identify a typical market valuation near $900,000, and sales advertisements note a fitted avionics suite with Honeywell components as a common retrofit path. No change-of-ownership history beyond the listed corporate owner is provided in the supplied data.

The subject airframe is typically sold and listed with a seven- to eight-place executive club seating arrangement and a forward galley with an aft belted lavatory, reflecting the configuration attributed to this MSN in sales listings. Avionics fit reported on listings include Honeywell SPZ-500 flight director/autopilot and Honeywell EFIS (EDZ-series), with those items also cited as retrofit options in market literature for this airframe. Operationally, the Citation II airframe’s performance—short-to-medium range and high-subsonic cruise—supports point-to-point corporate and charter missions up to the specified range and ceiling; specific operator base or route history for N550CF is not published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations in listings typically emphasize avionics retrofits and engine programme status consistent with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-series powerplants.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-cabin, medium-range business jet niche, offering cruise speeds and operating ceilings competitive with contemporaries in the early 1990s light jet segment. Competing models historically include other light-cabin jets of the era; buyer demand centers on cost-conscious corporate operators and charter companies seeking dependable, single-pilot-capable platforms. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine status, avionics fit (notably Honeywell SPZ-500/EDZ-series upgrades), and completion condition, factors reflected in the sub-million-dollar valuation reported for N550CF.
