Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N705SP, is a 1985-built Cessna S550 Citation S/II with serial number S550-0048. The jet is listed as owned by Sportsman's Market, Inc., a corporate owner based in Batavia, OH, US, and carries United States registration. The broker listing associated with this airframe highlights a completed avionics suite and an in-service configuration typical of a mid-1980s light business jet. Valuation notes from the listing place the airframe at an estimated market value of $856,000, with condition and equipment contributing to that figure.
The cabin is presented in an eight-passenger center-club layout with a forward refreshment center and a belted aft lavatory, reflecting the listed interior configuration for this specific airframe. Avionics installed per the broker listing include a Garmin GTN-750 and GTN-650 navigation suite with dual GTX transponders, Sperry SPZ-500 flight director/autopilot, Collins DME, and Honeywell MFD/TAWS components, enabling contemporary navigation and situational awareness upgrades relative to the original fit. Typical missions for this S/II airframe would encompass short- to medium-range executive transport and charter hops within the continental U.S., leveraging a near-2,000 nm range and cruise speeds around 403 kts. As a corporate-owned aircraft based in Batavia, OH, operator patterns and maintenance cycles will reflect regional operations and brokered sales history.
The Cessna S550 Citation S/II occupies the light business jet niche for buyers seeking efficient regional speed and operating economics from a mid-1980s design. With twin JT15D-4B powerplants producing 2,500 lbf each and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, the airframe competes with contemporaries in the light jet category for used market demand. Marketability and resale considerations for this particular airframe hinge on installed avionics, interior configuration, and the documented ownership by Sportsman's Market, Inc., factors that influence maintenance tracking, ferry profiles, and appeal to owner-operators or small charter operators.
