N552CJ

This entry covers airframe N552CJ, a 1988-built example of the Cessna S550 (Citation S/II) carrying manufacturer serial S550-0150. The airframe is registered in the United States and is held in co-ownership by WOLF PACK 7 LLC, based in Wilmington, DE. Public registry actions beyond basic registration are Not published. Condition and valuation commentary for this specific airframe are Not published.

The airframe is configured with an eight-seat cabin layout consistent with light business jets in its class, enabling mixed passenger and light-cargo missions within transcontinental range. With a cruise speed of 402 kts and a maximum practical range of 1,998 nm, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point corporate or charter missions originating from its owner’s home base in Wilmington, Delaware. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4B engines deliver 2,500 lbf of thrust each, a factor that influences both climb capability to a 43,000 ft service ceiling and routine maintenance scheduling. Specific avionics fit and interior finish for this airframe are Not published; maintenance considerations follow standard S/II practices driven by engine life cycles and aging-airframe inspections.

The Cessna S550 (Citation S/II) occupies the light, short-to-medium range business jet niche within Cessna’s lineage, offering a combination of eight-place cabin practicality, moderate transcontinental range, and relatively high cruise speeds for its generation. Aircraft with the JT15D-4B powerplant appeal to operators seeking robust short-field performance and efficient cruise at mid-to-high flight levels, while market demand tends to favor well-documented maintenance histories and clear ownership records such as the co-ownership registration of WOLF PACK 7 LLC. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model are influenced by total engine cycles and avionics modernization status, factors that typically drive buyer interest and valuation for late-1980s S550 airframes.
