N559WJ

This airframe, registered as N559WJ, is a 2000-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0909. It is recorded as owned by the corporation Wanger Jones Helsley PC, based in Fresno, CA, US, and has operated in a corporate/owner-flown role since acquisition. Ownership and basing with a Fresno-headquartered law firm indicate regular regional business missions and corporate registry status under the United States. Valuation and condition highlights list the airframe at an estimated market value of $1,900,000, reflecting its age, avionics fit, and typical configuration.

The cabin of this specific Citation Bravo is configured in a typical 7–8 place executive layout with a forward club and aft club seating arrangement and a belted lavatory option, supporting up to 8 occupants in an executive interior. Factory avionics for Bravos are commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000, and this airframe retains the typical factory-fit avionics suite with many examples receiving avionics upgrades over time. Operated from Fresno, CA by Wanger Jones Helsley PC, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on short- to mid-range corporate travel within its 1,744 nm range and cruise speeds around 342 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical mid-life service requirements for a 2000-model Citation Bravo, with valuation influenced by engine status, avionics condition, and interior configuration.

As a member of the Cessna Citation family, the Cessna 550 Citation Bravo represented a light corporate twinjet optimized for efficient short- to mid-range executive transport, evidenced by its 342 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. The eight-place executive cabin and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines producing 2,887 lbf each position the type for owner/operators and small-corporate flight departments seeking a balance of speed, range, and operating economy. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on cumulative hours, engine status, and avionics—factors that also drive its assessed value of $1,900,000.
