N701VV

This entry covers airframe N701VV, a factory-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo completed in 2002 with serial number 550-1033. The aircraft is owned by General Electric Capital Corporation of the United States and is registered in the US; no other operators or transfers are recorded in the provided dataset. As a later-production Bravo airframe the airframe valuation is listed at $2,200,000, a figure that reflects fleet age, equipment fit and market positioning at the time of reporting. The aircraft’s documented configuration and equipment suggest it is maintained for executive transport missions rather than freight or specialized operations.

The cabin of N701VV is outfitted in a typical seven–eight executive layout with center-club seating, a forward refreshment area and a belted lavatory option, reflecting common Citation Bravo interior arrangements for business missions. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000 typical Bravo fit, with many Bravo airframes, including this one, reported to have optional UNS‑1 FMS upgrades—an installation pattern consistent with mixed legacy and updated avionics for IFR and business charter work. With seating for 8 and a range of 1,744 nm, this airframe is well suited to regional and transcontinental point-to-point executive transport profiles from corporate bases in the United States. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would conform to Citation Bravo schedules for PW530A powerplants and the avionics fit, with residual value and upkeep influenced by the airframe’s 2002 build year and recorded equipment.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies a light-cabin, twin-engine business jet niche offering moderate speed and long-range capability for its class, exemplified here by a 342 kt cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models typically include other light-cabin jets from the same era; buyer and charter demand for Bravos often hinges on engine, avionics and interior condition—factors reflected in this airframe’s $2,200,000 valuation. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial ( 550-1033 ) follow typical Textron-era support pathways, with avionics upgrades such as UNS‑1 FMS commonly influencing marketability and operational flexibility.
