Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered N666DS, is a 1985 build of the Cessna S550 (Citation S/II) with serial number S550-0056. It is owned by DAVIATOR LLC, an LLC based in Homer, AK, US, and operates on the United States civil register. The type is a fixed-wing multi-engine executive jet configured in an eight-place cabin; registry and operator records reflect commercial-private corporate ownership rather than airline operation. No public record of significant incidents is noted in the supplied data; operational condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

The aircraft is fitted with an 8-place executive layout (typical for S/II), reflecting a cabin optimized for corporate or private transport of small groups. Specific avionics fit and interior finish details are not published in the supplied data. With a cruise of 384 kts and a maximum range of 1,998 nm, this airframe is suited to regional and transcontinental business missions, enabling nonstop flights across large portions of North America when operated from its home base in Homer, AK, US or other continental U.S. airports. Maintenance considerations follow those typical of mid-1980s Citation S/II airframes powered by JT15D-4 turbofans, with operator-managed upkeep expected for continued corporate service.

The Cessna S550 (Citation S/II) occupies a light-cabin business jet niche characterized by efficient short- to mid-range missions and economical operating costs relative to larger jets. Powered by twin JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each and offering a ceiling of 43,000 ft, the model competes with contemporaries in the light-cabin segment. Buyer and charter demand is generally driven by availability of well-maintained airframes and avionics upgrades; resale and maintenance considerations for a 1985 serial S550-0056 include inspection cycle adherence and component life limits typical for aircraft of its vintage.
