Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N552CG is a 1991-built Cessna 550 Citation II (Bravo variant), serial number 550-0659. Ownership is recorded to CSC DELAWARE TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, indicating the airframe is held in trust rather than by an individual operator. The aircraft’s registry history centers on trustee ownership and corporate registration in the US; any historic operator changes prior to the trust registration are not published in the supplied data. Valued at $1,000,000, this airframe reflects a mature airframe in the late second-hand market for light corporate jets.
The aircraft is configured with an 8-place executive layout (typical) cabin suitable for short- to mid-range corporate missions and light charter work; specific cabin finishes or modifications for N552CG are not published. Avionics fit for this specific tail is not published in the supplied data, so operational avionics capabilities should be confirmed from registry or maintenance records before flight planning. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include business point-to-point trips within the continental US and transcontinental light-jet hops matching its 1,998 nm range and 403 kts cruise speed, operating from mid- to large-size airports; the trustee ownership implies flights are arranged through corporate or managed-ownership programs. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft focus on lifecycle items for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines and airframe age-related inspections consistent with a 1991 manufacture date.
The Cessna 550 Citation II (Bravo variant) occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering moderate cruise speed and transcontinental range suitable for regional and cross-country corporate missions. Competing models in similar missions include other light-cabin jets that balance operating cost and runway performance; buyers and charter operators often evaluate catalytic engine maintenance history and avionics updates when assessing value. For N552CG, the combination of its 1991 build year, trustee ownership, and a listed value of $1,000,000 suggests a market position where prospective operators will weigh required modernization, potential avionics retrofits, and JT15D-4 engine life limits against acquisition cost and mission needs.
