Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N812ME is a 2002-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo, constructor serial number 550-1023. Registered in the United States, the aircraft’s publicly supplied data describe its build year and serial but provide limited published information on ownership transfers or an operator base; no major registry actions or ownership events are published. The airframe is equipped and typically configured by operators for seven-passenger executive use, and maintenance or condition highlights are operator-specific and not published.

This airframe is commonly outfitted in a typical seven-place executive layout with a four-seat club up forward and a three-seat arrangement aft, although the exact fit can be operator-specific and may be alternatively configured as 4 club seats + 3 aft club seats possible. Avionics commonly fitted to this model include the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite with a range of common FMS options available depending on operator choice. In operation, the Citation Bravo’s performance—moderate transcontinental range and high single-pilot-capable cruise speed—suits it to short- to mid-range corporate missions, air-taxi work, and owner-flown transport; specific route patterns and amenities are determined by the aircraft’s operator and interior fit. Maintenance considerations follow the PW530A powerplant and Citation Bravo airframe schedules and are managed per operator program.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies a light-cabin business jet niche offering a balance of cruise speed, transcontinental reach for its class, and a service ceiling useful for efficient routing. Competing types in the market historically include other light jets offering similar mission capability; buyer and charter demand generally targets operators seeking economical ownership or charter efficiency with a seven-seat executive cabin. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect age (2002 build), serial-specific history, and installed avionics/engine status, with market interest influenced by completed upgrades and maintenance records.
