N550WE

This airframe, tail number N550WE, is a Cessna S550 Citation S/II manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and completed in 1988 with serial S550-0148. Public records indicate a United States registration (US) and a current market valuation reported at $900,000; detailed ownership history and operator bases are limited in available listings. No publicly listed cabin-specific fit for this serial has been published, and there are no widely reported notable registry actions beyond its US registration status.

The airframe is typically fitted in a standard executive configuration described for the model family as a six–to–eight passenger club seating arrangement with an aft baggage compartment; the exact interior fit for N550WE is not available in public listings. Avionics fit for this specific serial is not published in the supplied data; typical mission profiles for this configuration would include short-to-mid-range corporate transports and on-demand charter legs consistent with its near-2,000 nm range and high cruising speed. With a certified ceiling of 43,000 ft and twin JT15D-4B engines producing 2,500 lbf each, the aircraft is well suited to high-speed point-to-point operations from U.S. operator bases, while maintenance planning should account for age-related systems and airframe considerations given the 1988 build year.

As a member of the Citation S/II (S550) family, this airframe occupies a light corporate jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speeds (403 kts), transcontinental short-to-mid-range capability (about 1,998 nm), and seating for up to 8 passengers. The combination of older vintage (1988) and a reported valuation of $900,000 highlights typical market dynamics for aging light jets: steady operational capability balanced against increasing maintenance, component life-cycle events, and avionics upgrade considerations that influence buyer and charter demand and resale pricing.
