Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N676DG, is a 1975-built Cessna 500 Citation I (Citation 500 LW), serial number 5000256. The aircraft is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, Utah, United States, and is recorded on the US civil register. The airframe’s registry notes corporate ownership and operator-configurable seating, and sales and listing information for this specific tail has referenced avionics refurbishments and interior variability. Maintenance and valuation commentary in listings for this airframe have emphasized its long service life since 1975 and upgrades consistent with owner-operated or managed light-corporate missions.
The cabin for this specific airframe is typically presented in an executive layout configured for five passengers, although the US registration shows 8 seats and the configuration is operator-configurable; listings for this tail describe an executive interior as the common mission fit. Avionics for N676DG have been reported to include Garmin-style upgrades, with sales postings referencing Garmin 650/750-style GPS/navigation retrofit work rather than original factory avionics. Typical operations for this airframe reflect light-corporate and owner/operator missions within the Citation I performance envelope—short to mid-range continental trips—operating from the owner’s base area in Utah and regional hubs. Maintenance considerations for this vintage Citation emphasize compliance with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1 engine programs and the implications of avionics modernization on dispatchability and avionics reliability.
The Cessna 500 Citation I (Citation 500 LW) occupies the light, twin-jet segment as an early-generation business jet, with performance suited to short to medium intercity missions and single-pilot or two-pilot corporate operations. In the pre-owned market this family competes with other light jets of similar vintage; buyers and charter operators value airframes with upgraded avionics like Garmin 650/750-style units and well-documented maintenance histories. Resale and maintenance considerations for this aircraft center on remaining structural life, JT15D-1 engine maintenance status, interior refurbishment, and the market premium attached to avionics modernization and clear corporate ownership records such as that shown for TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE.
