N713JD

The airframe registered as N713JD is a 1978-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial number 501-0075, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The certificate and registration indicate U.S. registry and single corporate ownership by CENTRAL VIRGINIA AVIATION INC, based in North Dinwiddie, Virginia, which has operated the airframe as its on-file operator. Ownership has remained with the corporation as the recorded operator/home base in North Dinwiddie, VA. As of the available data the airframe carries an estimated market value of $424,000, a figure that reflects its age and configuration in the light business jet sector.

The cabin on this airframe follows the typical executive layout associated with the model, accommodating a 5–7 passenger executive arrangement with a single-pilot option available on I/SP variants; the specific interior fit of N713JD aligns with that configuration. Operationally the aircraft is suited to short to medium-range corporate missions from its North Dinwiddie, VA base, performing regional executive transport and point-to-point business travel within its 1,328 nm range and cruise profile. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin JT15D-1 engines and late-1970s airframe systems, with operator-level upkeep conducted under corporate management. Avionics and specific onboard systems for this individual aircraft are not published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business jet niche, offering modest range and higher cruise speeds compared with piston and turboprop executive aircraft of its era, while providing simpler operation relative to larger jets. Competing models historically include other small light jets with similar twin-jet layouts; buyer and charter demand for late-1970s airframes tends to emphasize acquisition cost, overhaul history, and upgrade potential. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are shaped by its age, the availability and cost of JT15D-1 engine support, and the documented corporate ownership and U.S. registration.
