N772SB

This entry documents airframe N772SB, a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1984 with serial number 550-0498. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by the corporate entity APEX AIR LLC of Dover, DE, US; registry listings show transfer and corporate ownership records under that name. The airframe’s market valuation in recent listings is reported at $922,375, reflecting its age, configuration and any supplemental equipment or modifications. Notable historical entries include its documented fit with an air‑medical conversion option in addition to its typical executive layout.

The cabin of N772SB is described as a typical eight‑passenger executive layout, and the specific airframe has been reported with an air‑medical conversion fit using the Lifeport Plus patient handling system, indicating flexibility between corporate transport and medevac missions. Avionics fits reported in prior listings include Garmin 430/530‑class navigation stacks with options that have been shown for Sperry autopilot systems and Primus weather radar, supporting IFR and mixed‑mission operations. Based in Dover, Delaware under APEX AIR LLC, the aircraft’s performance (around 385 kts cruise and a 1,930 nm range) suits short‑ to medium‑haul executive hops, regional charter work, or rapid patient transfers within continental U.S. operating profiles. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would reflect its 1984 manufacture year, JT15D engine support, and any supplemental equipment tied to the reported medical conversion.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light twinjet niche for owners requiring modest speed, good runway performance and low initial acquisition cost relative to newer types. With a service ceiling near 43,000 ft and cruise speeds in the high 300‑knot range, the type competes with contemporaries like early Learjet and Hawker 700 series aircraft for charter and corporate missions. Market demand for 550‑series airframes often hinges on refurbishment, avionics modernization and engine program status; resale considerations for N772SB will be influenced by its conversion history, avionics package and the documented valuation of $922,375.
