This airframe, registered as N77FD, is a 1982-built Cessna 501 Citation ISP with serial number 5010250. It is owned by N77FD LLC, an LLC based in Kathleen, GA, US, and is registered in the US; no other prior owner history is published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N77FD is arranged in a seven-passenger executive layout featuring beige leather seating, a forward refreshment center and an aft lavatory suited to executive day or short overnight missions. Avionics reported on the listing include a Garmin G-600Txi PFD/MFD pair, dual Garmin GTN-750xi WAAS GPS/COM units, Garmin GWX-75 weather radar and GTX-series ADS-B transponder equipment, indicating a modernized glass cockpit retrofit for improved situational awareness and navigation compliance. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include regional corporate transport and owner-flown trips within the 1,300–1,400 nm range band and across domestic U.S. routes from its base in Kathleen, GA. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would prioritize aging airframe structural inspections and continued support for the JT15D-1 engines alongside certification and software currency for the aftermarket Garmin avionics suite.

The Cessna 501 Citation ISP occupies a light business jet niche offering moderate transcontinental capability, relatively high cruise speed for its vintage and single-pilot design simplicity compared with larger twinjets. Comparable market alternatives historically include other light jets of the era and modern light twins that offer improved efficiency and payload-range tradeoffs; buyer demand for a 1982 ISP will be influenced by avionics upgrades and the condition reflected in the reported $800,000 valuation. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on JT15D-1 engine support, parts availability, and the airframe’s updated Garmin avionics which can enhance marketability despite the type’s age.
