Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N554CG is a 1992-built Cessna 550 Citation II, serial number 550-0680, currently owned and operated by Coulson Aviation (USA) Inc, a corporate owner based in Portland, OR, USA. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine type operated from its owner’s home base in Portland. Built by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this specific airframe reflects a mature airframe age and a market valuation of $900,000, indicating its status as an older, value-priced example within its class. Notable registry actions are limited to the documented corporate ownership transfer and the continued operation by Coulson Aviation as the listed operator.
The cabin of N554CG is configured in an 8-place executive layout (typical center-club seating), supporting executive transport and short- to medium-range business missions. With a maximum practical cruise near 399 kts and a ferry range of about 1,998 nm, the aircraft is suited for transregional and continental missions from its Portland base. As a twin-engine jet powered by 2× Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each, operational considerations for this specific airframe include age-related maintenance tracking for a 1992 manufacture date and lifecycle management consistent with corporate operation. The configuration supports typical corporate passenger loads of up to 8 and aligns with common charter or company transport roles.
As a Cessna 550 Citation II airframe (serial 550-0680), this aircraft occupies a performance niche characterized by moderate transcontinental range, mid-40000s service ceiling capability, and executive cabin accommodation for eight. The combination of a 43,000 ft ceiling, nearly 2,000 nm range, and cruise near 399 kts frames its appeal to operators seeking efficient regional to transregional capability. Given its 1992 build year and a listed market value of $900,000, resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on prudent inspection, component life-limited parts review, and operator-specific refurbishments to maintain relevance in the used-jet market.
