N81EB

The airframe bearing tail number N81EB is a 1978 built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, manufacturer serial number 501-0003. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the corporation TCM AIR INC, based in Fort Smith, AR, US. The frame’s documented corporate ownership is with TCM AIR INC and no additional public details on prior ownership transfers or major registry actions are published in the supplied data. Valuation and condition data for this specific airframe are not published in the provided dataset.

The Citation I/SP platform for this airframe supports a typical executive cabin arrangement described as a 6–8-place layout; the specific interior fit for N81EB is not published. With a cruise speed of 357 kts and a range of 1,328 nm, the airplane is capable of short- to medium-range corporate missions from its operator base in Fort Smith, AR, US, suitable for point-to-point regional executive transport. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1A/1B engines provide the thrust necessary to operate to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, which supports efficient high-altitude cruise performance and flexible routing around weather or traffic. No bespoke amenities, avionics fit, or detailed maintenance history for this specific aircraft were provided.

The airframe is a member of the early Cessna light-citation family, the Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and targeted at operators seeking compact, high-speed executive transport with trans-regional capability. The combination of twin JT15D engines, a cruise near 357 kts, and a service ceiling to 41,000 ft places the model in the light corporate jet niche where buyers value speed and runway performance for short- to mid-range missions. For prospective purchasers or charter operators evaluating this airframe, common market considerations include older-airframe maintenance, parts availability for the JT15D series, and the variability of resale value tied to interior configuration and maintenance records, neither of which are published for N81EB in the supplied data.
