N565KT

This entry covers airframe N565KT, a production Cessna 650 Citation III built in 1987 with serial number 650-0131. The airframe is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s operator/home base is aligned with the documented owner location, and registry records indicate corporate ownership rather than individual private use. Valuation and condition highlights list the airframe value at $799,667, reflecting market factors for late-1980s Citation IIIs in corporate trust ownership.

The airframe is configured with an executive cabin layout reported to accommodate 8–12 passengers; the specific fit for N565KT is reported as a 12-seat capacity with an executive interior. Cabin furnishings and arrangement are described as including a forward galley, mid-cabin club seating and an aft lavatory, supporting typical short- to mid-range corporate transport and charter missions. Avionics are reported as the Sperry / Collins Pro Line II suite typical of Citation III airframes, though individual aircraft may carry subsequent upgrades; this fit supports airways integration and IFR operations at the aircraft’s maximum certified ceiling of 51,000 ft. Corporate trustee ownership suggests operations managed under an operator or management company, with maintenance and dispatch organized to sustain transcontinental capability within the listed 2,345 nm range.

The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies the high-performance midsize business jet niche of its era, offering transcontinental range and high-altitude cruise at approximately 430 kts and FL510 capability. Competing models include other late-1980s to 1990s super-midsize jets; market demand is generally driven by cost-conscious buyers seeking proven performance with lower acquisition costs against newer airframes. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial (650-0131) reflect age-related inspection, avionics modernization opportunities from the baseline Pro Line II fit, and valuation pressures that place the airframe at $799,667 in current listings.
