N782ST

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N782ST, a 1991-built Cessna business jet with serial number 550-0679. The airframe is recorded as owned by BLUE SKIES AVIATION OF DAYTONA INC, a corporation based in Ormond Beach, FL, US, and is registered in the US registry. Acquired and operated by BLUE SKIES AVIATION OF DAYTONA INC, the airplane’s operational base and corporate ownership tie its use to Florida-based general aviation activities. Recent valuation records indicate a market value of $820,000, reflecting condition and age considerations for this airframe.

The airframe configuration provides seating for 8, consistent with many Citation II interiors that prioritize executive transport and short to mid-range missions. Typical operations for this specific aircraft, given its 1,900 nm range and 369 kt cruise, would include regional corporate flights, charter insertions, and point-to-point travel from its Ormond Beach, FL operator base. Avionics fit and specific cabin appointments for this serial are not published in the supplied data; however, maintenance considerations follow the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engine type and Citation II airframe inspection schedules. The corporate ownership by BLUE SKIES AVIATION OF DAYTONA INC suggests usage oriented toward business or charter operations originating from Florida.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies a light business jet niche offering modest range and speed suitable for regional corporate missions, and the 1991-built Cessna 550 Citation II is representative of that market segment. Competing models in the same era and class include other light-cabin jets that balance operating cost and runway performance. At a recorded value of $820,000 for this airframe, buyers and charter operators consider airframe age, maintenance history, and engine TFIs when assessing resale and operational economics for a Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 powered Citation II.
