N550TY

This entry covers airframe N550TY, a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1982 with serial number 550-0344. The aircraft is owned by Midwest Jet LLC, an LLC based in Sioux Falls, SD, and is registered in the US. As an operator-configured airframe it features an executive interior and is valued at $800,000, with valuation and condition noted as part of its current registry description.

The interior of N550TY is configured in an 8-place executive club layout with an enclosed lavatory and a forward refreshment area, installed as an operator-configured cabin arrangement. Typical operations for this airframe reflect short- to mid-range executive transport missions, leveraging a cruise speed of 384 kts and a maximum practical mission radius within the 1,998 nm range. Based out of Sioux Falls, SD under ownership of Midwest Jet LLC, the aircraft’s maintenance profile will follow the requirements for twin JT15D-4B powerplants and the certification standards for its model year, with the enclosed lavatory and refreshment installations representing additional interiors/airworthiness inspection items.

As a Cessna 550 Citation II airframe with a service ceiling of 43,000 ft and twin JT15D-4B engines producing 2,500 lbf each, this airframe occupies the light-cabin, short- to medium-range business jet niche. Demand from owner-operators and charter operators typically centers on aircraft offering eight-passenger executive interiors and economical trip costs for regional missions. Maintenance considerations for resale or continued operation include life-limited engine checks, interiors overhaul owing to operator-configured amenities, and market valuation factors that have placed this specific airframe at $800,000 in current records.
