N765RD

The airframe bearing registration N765RD is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1981 with manufacturer serial number 550-0399. The airframe is listed in the U.S. registry to CITATION 550-399 LLC, an LLC based in Lewes, DE, US, which is the recorded owner and operator/home base association in public records. No public registry entries indicate frequent ownership transfers, and the most recent valuation recorded for the airframe is $922,375, reflecting its late-model-1980s vintage and continued certified status. The aircraft is registered in the US and carries a registered cabin capacity of eight seats, with an executive layout described as likely but not documented in the public registry entry.

This specific Citation II (serial 550-0399) is registered for an 8-seat cabin; the public registry notes an executive layout is likely but does not publish a detailed interior configuration. Typical missions for this airframe type and registration profile would include short- to medium-range corporate transport, charter operations, and owner-flown trips within the continental United States, taking advantage of the type’s nearly 2,000 nm range and 376 kt cruise. Avionics fit and specific on-board amenities for N765RD are not published in the available registry entry; maintenance and operational considerations follow standard Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 engine support and Citation II airframe inspection cycles as required by U.S. regulations.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for many U.S. missions with a service ceiling of 43,000 ft and comfortable cruise speeds. Contemporary competitors include later-generation light jets that may offer improved fuel efficiency or avionics, which can influence buyer and charter demand for early-1980s airframes such as this 1981 Citation II. Resale valuation and maintenance economics for 550-0399 will reflect airframe age, engine cycle status, completion condition (not fully documented publicly), and the ongoing support environment for JT15D-powered Citations.
