N640Y

This entry describes airframe N640Y, a 1988-built Cessna 550 Citation II with manufacturer's serial number 550-0590. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by HORIZON AVIATION II LLC, an LLC based in Shreveport, LA, US; the airframe carries that ownership as its primary recorded operator and home base. The airframe’s registry history is concise, with the most notable recorded action being its current registration and ownership under HORIZON AVIATION II LLC in Shreveport, Louisiana. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is fitted in an executive cabin layout accommodating 8 passengers, consistent with typical light-cabin Citation II interior arrangements. Operated from Shreveport, Louisiana under its LLC ownership, the aircraft is well suited for domestic business missions and longer point-to-point trips enabled by a maximum range of 1,998 nm and a cruise speed near 369 kts, supporting non-stop sectors across much of the continental United States and to nearby international points. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines, rated at 2,500 lbf thrust each, drive performance profiles that emphasize short-field capability and efficient climb to a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, factors that influence scheduling and maintenance planning specific to this airframe. No specific avionics fit or bespoke cabin amenities for this serial are published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-medium business jet niche for late-1980s designs, offering a balance of range, cabin comfort for eight passengers, and operating economics defined by its twin JT15D-4 engines. Competing models in its era and market segment typically include other light-cabin jets that trade payload and range against acquisition and operating costs. For prospective buyers or charter operators evaluating N640Y, considerations would typically center on engine program status, airframe hours, maintenance records, and refurbishment of the executive cabin, all critical to resale and charter demand for a 1988-built Citation II.
