N650PT

This airframe, registered as N650PT, is a Cessna 650 Citation III built in 1989 with serial number 650-0169. It is recorded as owned by BURKIM LLC (an LLC) based in Hartland, WI, US, and operates on the US registry. The airframe's documented ownership by BURKIM LLC is the primary noted corporate operator history for this aircraft. Condition and valuation entries list a market estimate of $964,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and typical systems fit for late-model Citation IIIs.

The cabin on this airframe is fitted in a typical executive configuration accommodating 8–12 passengers with a forward galley, club seating, and an aft lavatory, aligning with the Citation III’s common interior layouts. Avionics for Citation III airframes, including this one, typically comprise a Sperry/Honeywell SPZ-650 with Collins Pro Line II radios, providing legacy integrated flight and navigation capabilities consistent with corporate transport missions of its era. Typical operations for this airframe would include medium‑range executive transport and charter legs within the continental US and to nearby international points, leveraging a long cruise speed and high service ceiling to reduce trip times. Maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s age and the TFE731 engine commonality, with overhaul schedules and avionics upgrade potential being primary factors for continued operational dispatch reliability.

The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies a high‑performance mid‑sized business jet niche, characterized by transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that enabled efficient point‑to‑point routing when new. Competing types historically included other late‑1980s turbofan business jets offering similar range and cabin size; buyer and charter demand for older Citation IIIs is influenced by engines and avionics condition and the cost of modernization. Resale valuation, as indicated by the $964,000 figure for this airframe, typically factors in maintenance status, avionics upgrades, and the airframe’s executive interior configuration.
