N701BG

This entry documents the airframe registered as N701BG, a Cessna Citation S/II (S550) built in 1987 with serial number S550-0142. The aircraft is owned by HOSKING AVIATION INC, a corporate owner based in Bountiful, UT, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this airframe. It is U.S.-registered and listed with an estimated market value of $1,078,429, a figure that appears in broker materials accompanying the airframe listing. The history recorded here focuses on this individual airframe and its current corporate ownership rather than a broader registry chronology.

The cabin of N701BG is configured in a seven-passenger layout featuring a forward right-side aft-facing seat, a mid‑cabin four‑place club arrangement, dual aft forward‑facing seats, a forward galley, and a belted aft lavatory. Avionics as listed in broker materials include a Sperry SPZ-500 IFCS coupled with Collins Pro Line II and a Universal UNS-1K FMS, indicating a mixed legacy integrated flight control and navigation suite. Given the aircraft’s 2,000 nm range and 403 kt cruise speed, typical missions for this airframe are consistent with short-to-medium‑haul corporate or charter hops from its base in Bountiful, UT, US. Cabin amenities such as a forward galley and belted aft lavatory reflect a layout tailored for business transport of up to seven occupants.

As a member of the Citation S/II (S550) family produced by Cessna Aircraft Company, this airframe occupies the light-cabin, twin‑engine business jet niche with a service ceiling of 43,000 ft and transcontinental short‑range capability. The combination of Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D powerplants, a 2,000 nm range and a 403 kt cruise speed positions the model for owner-operators and charter operators seeking economical twin‑engine performance. Market and resale considerations for this specific airframe are summarized by its listed value of $1,078,429 and by the fitted avionics suite noted in broker materials, both factors that influence buyer demand and maintenance planning for the type.
