Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N550WS is a 1998-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo, serial 550-0845, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). As of the latest available data the aircraft is owned by FLORES ENTERPRISES 22 LLC, a limited liability company based in Weslaco, TX, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s configuration, systems fit and operational base place it in typical light corporate transport roles; its reported market valuation is $2,000,000. No other registry actions or prior owners are published in the provided data.

This airframe carries an executive eight-passenger center-club cabin configuration with a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory, matching typical corporate interior layouts for the Citation Bravo series. The installed avionics suite is the Honeywell Primus 1000, reflecting the typical integrated EFIS/FMS fit on Bravo examples and supporting modern navigation and flight management tasks. Operationally the aircraft’s 1,700 nm range and high cruise speed favor short- to medium-haul business missions and on-demand charter work originating from its owner’s base in Weslaco, TX, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would align with the twin PW530A powerplants and the avionics common to late-model Bravos; airframe value and mission readiness are influenced by engine status, avionics condition, and interior wear, consistent with the stated valuation.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, twinjet niche, offering high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling suited to corporate and charter operators seeking fast point-to-point travel. Competing models in the same mission profile typically include other light business jets with similar range and passenger capacity; buyers and charter operators value the Bravo for its combination of speed, cabin layout and proven Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500-series powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine hours and TBO cycles for the PW530A units, condition of the Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics fit, and the state of the executive interior when assessing the stated $2,000,000 valuation.
