Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N7YA is a 1999-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with manufacturer's serial number 550-0880, delivered by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by VANDER DUSSEN ROBERT, an individual based in Clovis, NM, US. The airframe’s public record reflects a single identifiable owner and home-base association rather than multiple operator transfers; ownership is listed to an individual in Clovis, New Mexico. Maintenance and valuation notes specific to this airframe are limited in the provided data, with condition highlights not published here.
The cabin in this specific Citation Bravo is laid out as an eight-passenger executive configuration featuring a forward right-hand seat, a four-place club with tables, two aft seats, and an enclosed belted lavatory. Avionics equipment is listed as Honeywell Primus 1000, noting that many Bravos were later upgraded to UNS-1K or equivalent options, which may be relevant for avionics modernization planning on this airframe. Typical missions for this configuration include short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter legs up to the aircraft’s published range of 1,900 nm, operating from regional bases such as the owner’s locality in Clovis. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow multi-engine fixed-wing schedules for a 1999 model with twin PW530A engines and an avionics suite that may require retrofit to meet current GPS/ADS-B and interface expectations.
The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability with a ceiling to 45,000 ft and cruise near 342 kts. Competing models historically include light-cabin jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand often target aircraft with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance histories. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1999 airframe hinge on engine time/cycles, avionics upgrade status, and the condition of the executive eight-seat interior.
