N550HJ

The airframe bearing registration N550HJ is a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 2005 by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) with serial number 550-1117. The aircraft is owned by BRAVO II LLC, an LLC based in Carmel, IN, US, and is registered in the US. No additional public registry actions are published for this specific airframe beyond its current ownership and registration; the airframe is valued at $2,200,000, reflecting its mid-2000s build and equipment baseline.

The cabin in this Citation Bravo example follows the typical 6–8 place executive layout, with club seating commonly fitted on Citation Bravo aircraft; this airframe’s eight-place seating accommodates short to mid-range corporate missions. Factory avionics for the Bravo were the Honeywell Primus 1000, which is the typical fitment noted for this model though many Bravos are later modified or updated from the factory state. Operationally, the type’s combination of a roughly 1,500 nm range and 400 kt cruise speed positions this airframe for point-to-point regional business travel, gap-filling between piston/turboprop and larger-cabin jets, with operations likely originating from the owner’s home base in Carmel, IN. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its age and typical upgrade paths, particularly avionics refreshes and standard PW530A engine program tracking.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, super-light jet niche, offering operators a balance of speed and operating economy in regional corporate transport. Competing models historically include light jets offering similar range and speed but differ in cabin layout and systems; buyer and charter demand for Bravos often centers on cost-conscious operators seeking reliable, well-documented airframes. For this 2005 airframe, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program status, avionics configuration (original Honeywell Primus 1000 versus upgraded suites), and overall logbook completeness.
