Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N689EW, is a 1982-built Cessna 551 Citation II/SP with serial number 551-0421. The aircraft is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe reflects long-term light business jet use typical for early 1980s Citation II/SP examples; registration and trustee ownership indicate placement with a corporate/operator service provider rather than a private individual. Current valuation is recorded at $1,000,000, consistent with mature market prices for the model in serviced but legacy avionics condition.
The aircraft is typically outfitted in an executive 7–8 place layout (typical for II/SP), providing an executive cabin suited to short‑to‑medium range corporate missions and on-demand charter work. Avionics are fitted with a typical dual Collins Pro Line suite; example retrofit options for this airframe include RVSM capability, TAWS B, and ADS‑B installations that bring older airframes into current airspace compliance standards. Operationally the Citation II/SP model and this airframe in particular are used for point‑to‑point regional missions within the United States, leveraging its cruise speed and 2,000 nm range for efficient transcontinental legs with limited passengers. Maintenance considerations reflect the JT15D-4 powerplants’ parts and overhaul cycles and the incremental value of avionics retrofits on aircraft of this vintage.
The Cessna 551 Citation II/SP sits in the light business jet niche, offering higher ceiling and improved speed over early Citation I variants while remaining more economical than newer midsize jets. Typical competitors include late-model light jets and early midsize pre-owned aircraft; buyer demand often favors well‑maintained examples with modernized avionics. Resale considerations for this serial include age‑related structural and systems inspections, engine life remaining, and the extent of avionics retrofits, factors that materially influence marketability at the noted $1,000,000 valuation.
