N7AB

This airframe, registered as N7AB, is a Cessna Citation VII (Model 650) built in 1996 with serial number 650-7068. It is recorded as owned by BCE JETS LLC, a corporate operator based in Cuero, TX, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed‑wing multi engine aircraft. The airframe reflects late‑production VII specification and general corporate configuration trends for the type in the mid‑1990s. No specific historical incidents or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate ownership and an estimated market valuation.

The cabin of this Cessna Citation VII is a stand‑up design with approximately 69 inches of cabin height and is typically arranged for six to nine executive seats; this particular airframe can be outfitted in a higher‑density layout accommodating 10–12 seats according to owner preference. Avionics fit varies by retrofit, with VII examples commonly fitted with upgraded Honeywell or Collins suites; this airframe would commonly carry a typical OEM Collins/Honeywell installation consistent with late‑model VII upgrades. Operationally the aircraft is capable of mid‑range corporate missions up to 1,950 nm at cruise speeds near 460 kts, frequently used for executive transport and charter operations from its Texas base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe mirror the Garrett TFE731 engine commonality and avionics retrofit history typical of the type.

The Model 650 Citation VII occupies the light‑to‑midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for owners requiring higher cruise and service ceiling performance relative to earlier Citation models. Common competitors include similarly sized light‑midsize jets that emphasize speed and altitude capability. Buyer and charter demand for VII airframes centers on cost‑effective performance and cabin flexibility; resale and maintenance considerations reflect engine TBO, avionics retrofit status, and the airframe’s age, with market values such as $1,200,000 influenced by those service and upgrade histories.
