The specific cabin arrangement for this airframe is a 7-passenger executive layout featuring a forward refreshment center, mid-cabin club seating, and a belted aft lav seat, reflecting a configuration optimized for short- to medium-haul business missions. While the exact avionics fit for N551TH is not published, the Citation Bravo series typically supports single-pilot or two-pilot operations under Part 135/91 usage profiles; this airframe’s mission set would commonly include regional executive transport and ad hoc charter flights over ranges up to 1,495 nm at cruise speeds near 342 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine program and the Citation Bravo airframe inspection intervals, though detailed status and logbook entries are not published for this registration.
The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche with efficient short-to-medium range performance and a cruise speed around 342 kts, appealing to owner-operators and small charter firms. Competing models in the same class include legacy light jets from the late 1990s and 2000s; buyers consider factors such as engine support for the PW530A, overall airframe hours, and avionics upgrades when evaluating resale. Given the listed $2,200,000 value and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, market demand tends to favor examples with well-documented maintenance and modern avionics retrofits to remain competitive.
