N603DW

This entry covers airframe N603DW, a 2005-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with manufacturer serial 550-1109. The airframe is owned by ONARCO2 LLC, an LLC based in Maurice, Iowa, and is registered in the United States. Records indicate the airframe carries the typical equipment and configuration associated with late-production Citation Bravos; specific registry actions beyond the current ownership are not published. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to the factory model year and installed equipment summary provided herein.

The cabin for this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout for the type, accommodating 7–8 passengers in a club/forward-rear seating arrangement with a belted lavatory. Avionics fit for Citation Bravos of this vintage is commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000; while this is noted as the typical fitment, the specific installed avionics suite for N603DW is unconfirmed. Operationally, the airframe’s range and cruise speed align it with short- to mid-range corporate missions, owner/operator trips, and light charter roles originating from its base in Maurice, Iowa. Maintenance considerations follow standard Citation Bravo practice for dual PW530A engines and airframe aging from a 2005 build year, with inspections and component life-limits driven by hours and cycles rather than unique modifications.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium range niche, offering cruise speeds around 400 kts and single-digit passenger capacity suited to owner-operators and small charter operators. Competing models include other light jets from the same era with similar mission profiles; buyers often weigh operating costs, engine support (Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A), and avionics modernization needs when assessing these airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2005 Bravo such as N603DW typically emphasize engine program status, avionics upgrades, and documented maintenance history.
