N79DA

This entry covers airframe N79DA, a production Cessna Citation Bravo (Cessna Citation Bravo (550)) built in 1999 with serial number 550-0875. The jet is owned by PAHLISCH HOMES INC, a corporation based in Bend, OR, US, and is registered in the US. The registry lists the aircraft as an 8-seat executive transport, and its market valuation is recorded at $2,180,000. Ownership has been held by a corporate operator based in Bend, Oregon, and there are no other publicized ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond its current corporate registration.

The airframe is configured with an 8-place executive seating cabin consistent with the Citation Bravo’s typical corporate interior; the registry explicitly shows 8 seats. Operating from a corporate base in Bend, Oregon, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-haul executive missions, business travel, and owner-flown transport within the continental United States. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would leverage its cruise speed of 394 kts and a practical range of 1,900 nm to serve multi-city day trips or regional point-to-point charters. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet follow the Citation Bravo program and the PW530A engine support structure; the airframe’s production serial 550-0875 is a key identifier for tracking service bulletins, AD compliance, and component life-limited parts.

The Cessna Citation Bravo (550) occupies the light-jet segment as a coach-class corporate transport offering a balance of speed, range, and operating economy. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines producing 2,750 lbf each and a ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with contemporaries in the late-1990s light jet market. Buyers and charter operators typically value the Bravo for its efficient cruise and modest acquisition cost; this airframe’s recorded valuation of $2,180,000 reflects market positioning where maintenance history, avionics fit, and serial-specific inspections influence resale and operating economics.
