N588AC

This entry covers airframe N588AC, a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 2000 with serial number 550-0912. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by BLU BIRD CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Burnet, Texas, which serves as the operator/home base. No notable registry actions have been published for this airframe. Recent market valuation is listed at $2,200,000, reflecting typical age and configuration for a turn-of-the-century Citation Bravo in operational condition.

The cabin for N588AC follows the common Bravo executive layout, with a typical 6–8 place configuration including a forward galley and a belted lavatory, providing a standard short- to medium-range business jet interior. Avionics fit is the Honeywell Primus 1000 as a typical Bravo install, supporting the navigation, communications and flight management needs of the type. With a cruise speed of 342 knots and a range of 1,900 nautical miles, the airframe is well suited to domestic U.S. corporate missions, ad hoc charter legs, and point-to-point regional operations from its Burnet, TX base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific aircraft align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine support and Bravo-series commonality, with proprietor-managed scheduling under the LLC owner.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, short–medium range niche in Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering higher cruise and modernized avionics relative to earlier Citation models. Typical competitors include other light-cabin jets of the era that target similar eight‑passenger corporate missions. Buyer and charter demand for well-equipped Bravos centers on airframes with updated avionics and maintained engines; resale and maintenance considerations for N588AC reflect its model-year 2000 vintage, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A propulsion, and the installed Honeywell Primus 1000 suite.
