N650BC

The airframe bearing tail number N650BC is a 1981-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial number 501-0192, manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company. As recorded, the aircraft is owned by SOLID ROCK CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Portsmouth, Ohio, United States, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s registry reflects transfer into LLC ownership without further publicized operational history; its assessed market value is $610,000, indicating a mature airframe typical of early 1980s business jets. Documentation indicates the single‑pilot variant configuration and standard executive role for the type.

The airframe is equipped in the typical Citation I executive arrangement with a 5–6 place executive layout, while the I/SP single‑pilot variant permits the right‑seat passenger position, and actual cabin configurations may vary by operator. Built and operated to standards of the era, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short to medium‑range corporate transport, point‑to‑point trips and owner‑flown operations from regional bases. Avionics fit is not detailed in the provided data; maintenance considerations are driven by the airframe’s age, twin JT15D-1 engines and single‑pilot certification, with routine inspections and component overhauls expected to follow established Cessna and regulatory schedules. The owner’s LLC registration suggests corporate or owner‑operator use rather than line charter.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP sits in the light business jet niche, offering modest cabin comfort, subsonic cruise and access to smaller airports owing to its airframe performance. With a cruise of 357 kts, a ceiling of 41,000 ft, and a range of 1,328 nm, it competes historically with contemporaries that prioritize owner‑pilot capability and operating economy over cabin size. Market demand for similar vintage airframes tends toward buyers seeking lower acquisition cost and willing to accommodate aging‑aircraft maintenance; the stated value of $610,000 reflects depreciation and the need for ongoing maintenance and avionics upgrades for continued productive operation.
