N627BC

This airframe, registered as N627BC, is a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 1999 with serial number 5500868. It is currently owned by HARD EIGHT INVESTMENTS LLC (an LLC based in Alpharetta, GA, US) and is registered in the US. Listed ownership and equipment notes indicate the aircraft traded as a corporate executive transport and has been marketed with optional avionics upgrades, and its retail valuation at the time of listing was $2,100,000, reflecting its configuration and equipment condition.

The aircraft is fitted in an executive seven-passenger cabin layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, providing a typical corporate interior for short- to mid-range business missions. Avionics are built around the Honeywell Primus 1000 integrated flight deck with integral FMS and LPV capability; the listing also reported Garmin transponders and optional Garmin chartview/XM systems as equipment or upgrade options. With a 1,900 nm range and a 342-knot cruise, this airframe is typically employed on regional point-to-point charters, owner-flown business trips, or light corporate shuttle missions from its Alpharetta, Georgia base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would focus on adherence to Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine programs and avionics upgrade/validation when optional Garmin systems are installed.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-citation niche as a cost-effective, short- to mid-range business jet offering single-pilot capability in many configurations and efficient operating economics for its class. Competitors include other light jets in the late-1990s generation; buyer demand typically centers on owner/operators and small charter firms seeking reliable performance with modest acquisition cost. For this airframe, its Pratt & Whitney Canada engines, Honeywell Primus 1000 core avionics, and reported optional Garmin equipment are positive resale and operational factors, while prospective buyers should account for age-related systems inspections and the market sensitivity of 1999-model light jets.
