N565CC

This airframe, registered as N565CC, is a 1973-built Cessna 500 Citation I (serial 500-0065) originally produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is currently owned by CYPRESS AIRCRAFT SALES LLC, an LLC based in Clermont, FL, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft is listed with a Duncan Aviation refurbishment of the executive cabin and carries a market listing value of $350,000. Registry and listing information indicate it is operated from the owner's Florida location, with no additional ownership transfers published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific airframe is finished in an executive configuration accommodating five passengers in a club layout with a forward barrel seat, complemented by a forward galley and an aft lavatory following a Duncan Aviation refurbishment. The avionics fit on the listing shows a Collins Pro Line suite augmented by a Bendix KMD-850 MFD, Bendix KMH-920 EGPWS/TCAS-I, dual Collins VHF radios, TDR-90 transponders and a KLN-900 GPS, supporting typical light business jet navigation and safety requirements. Operationally the aircraft’s combination of short-to-medium range (approximately 1,328 nm) and high cruise speed (about 357 kts) suits point-to-point executive transport and owner/operator private missions from its Florida base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its vintage 1973 manufacture date and the JT15D-1A engines’ support and life-limited component tracking under continued commercial or private use.

The Cessna 500 Citation I family occupies the light business jet niche for operators seeking economical, short-to-medium range performance with modest cabin amenities. With a maximum certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and twin JT15D engines producing 2,200 lbf each, the model competes historically with contemporaries from Learjet and Dassault Falcon’s smaller types in terms of cruise speed and operating cost. Buyer and charter demand for early Citation I airframes tends to emphasize refurbishments, avionics upgrades and verified maintenance history; the listed $350,000 valuation for this airframe reflects its vintage, installed avionics and cabin refurbishment status, and potential resale considerations tied to engine and airframe hours not provided here.
