N63TK

This airframe, registered as N63TK, is a 1997-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0803. The aircraft is owned by the corporate entity BEAVER N63TK LLC, located in Salem, OR, US, and is U.S.-registered (US). The airframe represents a late-1990s Citation Bravo example; registration records indicate ownership under the named LLC in Salem, Oregon, and its age and corporate ownership profile are typical of small-fleet or owner-operated executive jets of this vintage.

The cabin of this specific Citation Bravo follows the common 8-place executive layout, featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory consistent with the Citation 550/Bravo configuration. Operated from its Salem, Oregon base by the owning corporation, the type is typically deployed on short- to medium-range business missions and charter sectors that exploit its near-2,000 nm range and high single-pilot-capable cruise speeds. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A turbofan installation offers established support networks, but as a 1997 model the aircraft is subject to age-related maintenance planning, component lifecycle management, and routine avionics and interior refurbishment cycles to remain competitive for corporate use or charter.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light-medium business jet niche, balancing efficient short-field performance and relatively low operating costs against modest cabin volume compared with larger midsize twins. With a cruise near 403 kts, a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, and an effective ferry range of 1,998 nm, it competes with contemporaries in the light-cabin segment where buyers prioritize runway flexibility and lower acquisition cost. For a 1997 airframe like N63TK, market considerations include engine program status for the PW530A units, airframe and avionics upgrades, and interior refurbishment, all of which materially influence resale and charter demand.
