N76AS

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N76AS, a 1982-built business jet with serial number 5500432. The aircraft is a Cessna 550 Citation II manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States. It is owned by the corporation GS ICI HOLDINGS LLC, based in Beaumont, TX, US; the current registration and ownership place the aircraft on the U.S. registry and tie its operational base to Beaumont. The airframe’s record is notable for its long-term corporate ownership and U.S. registration continuity, with valuation and condition summaries not published here.

The airframe configured as a Cessna 550 Citation II typically accommodates up to 8 passengers in a compact executive cabin layout, optimized for short- to mid-range business missions. With a cruise speed of 369 knots and a range of 1,900 nautical miles, the aircraft suits point-to-point corporate travel, regional charters, and business repositioning flights from its Beaumont, Texas base. Avionics and cabin fittings for this specific serial are not listed in the provided data; maintenance considerations for the airframe focus on aging JT15D-1 engines and airframe systems typical of early-1980s production jets, requiring attention to component life limits and historical compliance records for continuous U.S. operation.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a legacy light-to-midsize business jet niche—an evolutionary step up from the Citation I series—offering improved performance and payload for eight-seat corporate missions. Competitors in its era and continuing secondary market include similarly sized light jets that balance short-field capability with efficient regional cruise, while buyers often prioritize acquisition cost and maintenance history. For an airframe like N76AS (serial 5500432, 1982 build), secondary-market considerations emphasize engine program status for the JT15D-1 powerplants, avionics modernization, and records demonstrating consistent corporate ownership and U.S. registry compliance.
