N550RM

This airframe, registered as N550RM, is a 2005-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with manufacturer serial number 550-1099. The airframe is recorded as owned by REAL X JET LLC, an LLC based in Sarasota, FL, US, and operates on a United States registration. The aircraft’s registry history shows registration and operation under the single LLC owner, with valuation and condition summaries listing an estimated market worth of $1,400,000. Maintenance and equipment fit reflect a mid‑2000s Citation Bravo maintained for executive transport missions.

The aircraft is fitted in an executive eight‑place cabin layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, configured to support typical light business jet missions such as short‑to‑medium‑range corporate flights and on‑demand charter sectors within the continental United States. Avionics and systems installed on this airframe include a Honeywell Primus 1000 integrated flight control system, Honeywell Mark VII enhanced ground proximity warning system, Garmin GTN‑650/750 navigators, Universal UNS‑1K flight management system, Honeywell KR‑87 audio panel, and a TCAS II (TPU‑67A) traffic advisory/collision avoidance unit, which together provide a contemporary IFR capability for its build era. Based in Sarasota, FL, operations from coastal and regional airports emphasize point‑to‑point executive transport; routine maintenance considerations include monitoring the PW530A engines and avionics suites consistent with Citation Bravo service intervals.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet niche offering faster cruise speeds and higher service ceilings than many turboprops while providing lower operating costs than larger midsize jets. Typical competitors include other light jets of its era with similar range and seating, and demand is generally driven by owner‑operators and charter operators seeking cost‑effective short‑haul executive capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2005 Bravo include engine time on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A pair, the condition of the Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite, and market valuation pressures that have placed this specific airframe at approximately $1,400,000.
