N550TN

This entry covers airframe N550TN, a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 2001 with serial number 550-0968. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by TRUENORTH COMPANIES LC of Cedar Rapids, IA, US, a corporate operator reflected in the airframe's current registry. Publicly available registry actions for this specific tail are not published. As of the supplied data the airframe is valued at $1,750,000, a figure that summarizes market worth without additional condition or logbook detail.

The cabin of N550TN is presented in a typical executive 7–8 place layout with a forward single/club arrangement, a four-place mid-club, two aft seats, an enclosed belted lavatory and a forward refreshment center. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 1000 (typical) for the model, with note that many Bravos have been retrofitted with WAAS-capable FMS/GTN upgrades — a potential consideration for this airframe when assessing navigation capability and upgrade history. Mission profiles consistent with the provided performance numbers — a 1,900 nm range and 342 kts cruise — suggest medium-range executive transport and corporate point-to-point operations from the owner/operator base in Cedar Rapids, IA. Maintenance considerations would hinge on OEM engine type (PW530A) and typical Bravo airframe systems; specific logbook or maintenance status for this serial is not provided.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo represented by N550TN occupies a light, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet niche defined by the provided cruise, range and ceiling figures. Its operational profile — transcontinental-ish legs within a 1,900 nm radius at high-subsonic cruise and service ceiling to 45,000 ft — reflects the performance buyers and corporate operators seek in this class. Valuation at $1,750,000 for this 2001-built airframe informs resale and acquisition considerations, while engine type (Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A) and common avionics upgrade paths (WAAS-capable FMS/GTN) are salient points for prospective purchasers or fleet managers evaluating reliability, upgrade cost and market demand.
