N555HM

The airframe bearing tail number N555HM is a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 2000 with serial number 550-0950. This airframe is owned by AIROPS II LLC, an LLC based in Salinas, CA, US, and operates on a United States registration. The aircraft’s value is recorded at $2,295,000, reflecting its condition and market position for a 2000-model Bravo. Registered to AIROPS II LLC in Salinas, CA, the airframe’s recorded information centers on its corporate ownership and typical regional operations.

The cabin of this Citation Bravo is fitted in a typical executive configuration with 7–8 place club seating, an enclosed aft lavatory and a forward refreshment center, consistent with the standard Bravo layout for business or executive transport. Avionics commonly installed on this airframe type include the Honeywell Primus 1000, though some Bravos later received UNS-1K; this specific aircraft’s fit is reported as the common Honeywell Primus 1000. Mission profiles for this airframe generally include short- to mid-range corporate flights consistent with its 1,744 nm range and 402 kt cruise speed, operating from a US home base in California under its LLC ownership. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow typical Bravo schedules for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines and the airframe’s avionics suite.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering transregional range and high single-pilot capability in many operator configurations. Competing aircraft in this category target buyers and charter operators seeking efficient cruise speeds near 402 kts and service ceilings to 45,000 ft, with the Bravo family known for straightforward systems and established support. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2000-built Bravo such as N555HM reflect engine cycles on the PW530A pair, avionics modernization potential (for example, upgrades from Primus 1000 to UNS-1K), and market demand tied to its recorded valuation of $2,295,000.
