Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N71KG is a Cessna 551 Citation IISP built in 1992 with serial 551-0214. It is registered in the US and is registered to Farwell Flash Aviation LLC, a corporate owner based in Parmer County, TX, US. The airframe carries an estimated market value of $850,000, reflecting its age, typical systems fit and single-pilot certification common to the IISP variant. No additional registry actions are recorded in the supplied data beyond the current corporate ownership and national registration.
The cabin of this airframe is outfitted in a typical 6–8 place executive layout with an aft belted lavatory and external baggage capacity, configured here to accommodate 7 seats for executive transport missions. The IISP variant's common single‑pilot certification allows operation with reduced crew requirements when flown to that standard. The original avionics fit for this model is the Collins ProLine / Sperry SPZ-500, although many airframes of this type carry retrofit Garmin/Avidyne packages; this airframe’s typical original-fit avionics are noted in the supplied data. Operating from its base in Parmer County, TX, the aircraft is suited to short-to-medium range executive missions up to 2,000 nm at a cruise speed near 355 kts, with systems and maintenance considerations centering on its twin JT15D-4 turbofan engines.
As a member of the Citation family, the Cessna 551 Citation IISP occupies the light-cabin, mid‑performance niche, offering transcontinental capability within its 2,000 nm range and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft. The airframe’s value at $850,000 reflects typical depreciation for a 1992 airframe with original avionics or partial retrofits and ongoing maintenance demands associated with aging JT15D-4 engines and legacy avionics. Buyer and charter demand for examples like N71KG is driven by operators seeking single‑pilot certified, compact executive jets with respectable cruise performance and long-range ferry capability.
