N555RT

This airframe, registered as N555RT, is a 1981-built Cessna 551 Citation IISP bearing serial number 5510323. The aircraft is recorded on the U.S. registry and is registered to SCT AVIATION LLC, a Fort Lauderdale, FL-based limited liability company. It is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada turbofan engines and is listed with an estimated current value of $1,000,000. Notable registry actions include its U.S. registration and active ownership by an LLC operator based in Fort Lauderdale, highlighting its status as a corporate-operated business jet.

The airframe is configured with 8 seats consistent with typical light-cabin corporate layouts for the Citation IISP, supporting short to medium-haul business missions such as point-to-point domestic hops and regional charters within its near-2,000 nm range. Based in Fort Lauderdale under the ownership of SCT AVIATION LLC, the aircraft is suited to business travel across the southeastern U.S., the Caribbean, and select transcontinental sectors when payload and fuel planning permit. Cabin fit and specific avionics for this serial are not published in the supplied data; however, the model normally supports a two-crew flight deck and corporate interior options, and this airframe’s ownership by an LLC suggests typical corporate maintenance and operational oversight.

The Cessna 551 Citation IISP sits in the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering a combination of turbofan performance and efficient operating costs relative to larger jets. With twin JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each, the model delivers cruise speeds near 384 kts and service ceilings up to 43,000 ft, competing historically with light jets such as early Learjet and Hawker models. At an estimated value of $1,000,000, resale and buyer demand are influenced by age (1981 build), maintenance history, and avionics upgrades; prospective purchasers and operators typically factor in overhaul cycles and parts support for legacy Pratt & Whitney JT15D engines.
