Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N550J, is a 1998-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo, serial number 550-0848, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by MAYES JOHN, an individual based in Carson City, NV, US, and operates on a United States registration.

The cabin of this Cessna 550B Citation Bravo is described in the typical factory configuration as a 6–8 place executive layout with a forward refreshment center and aft lavatory; club seating is common. The factory avionics fit for the Bravo generation is the Honeywell Primus 1000, though many 550B examples were later optioned with the Universal UNS-1K FMS; the provided data indicates the typical factory Honeywell installation. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short to medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter hops consistent with its 1,744 nm range and 394 kt cruise, frequently operating from regional airports near the owner’s base in Carson City, NV. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft are not published beyond its twin PW530A powerplants.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies a light business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability at a conservative operating footprint relative to larger jets. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines and a 45,000 ft ceiling, it competes against other light-cabin jets in buyer and charter demand where runway performance and operating cost are prioritized. Resale and maintenance considerations for the model class typically focus on avionics upgrades (such as retrofitting FMS systems) and engine/airframe hours, though no specific hour or maintenance records are provided for this airframe.
