Model & Market Context
The airframe registered as N827DP is recorded historically as a Cessna 550 Citation II with later references tying the airframe to Cessna 560-series records, creating ambiguity in model designation and manufacturer listing between Cessna and Textron Aviation. Build year and serial number: Not published. Ownership is held by N827DP LLC, an LLC based in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, US, which appears as the registered owner in US records; operator/home base details beyond the owner location are Not published. Notable registry actions include ambiguous later N‑number use within Cessna 560-series records and manufacturer attribution listed inconsistently; valuation and detailed condition assessments are Not published.
The airframe is associated with a typical eight-place executive cabin layout consistent with the Cessna 550 Citation II configuration; subsequent interior status on the later-associated airframe entry is Not published. Avionics fit for this specific registration are Not published, though Citation II examples commonly carry mid-era corporate avionics suites; typical missions would include short- to mid-range executive transport and business shuttle flights within the aircraft’s 1,711 nm range and cruise of 369 kts. Based on the registered owner location, operations or maintenance oversight could be expected to center on the northeastern US, but specific operator schedules, unique amenities, or maintenance records for N827DP are Not published.
The Citation II / Cessna 560-series family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, providing transcontinental short‑to‑medium range capability with moderate operating costs relative to larger jets. Competing models in the era include other light-cabin jets powered by similar turbofan powerplants, attracting owner-operators and charter operators seeking eight‑place executive capacity and a 43,000 ft service ceiling. Maintenance considerations and resale valuation for this specific airframe are influenced by the noted ambiguity in model/manufacturer records and any undocumented modifications; potential buyers and brokers should verify serial, logbook continuity, and exact airframe designation due to the mixed Citation II versus 560-series references.
