N82AJ

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N82AJ, a 1978-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP with serial number 501-0282. The airframe is owned by VIENTOS AIR LLC, a corporation based in Santa Fe, NM, US, and is maintained on the United States civil register. The airframe’s configuration is recorded as a single-pilot executive layout and typically accommodates five to eight passengers, and it operates within the fixed-wing multi-engine category. No public record of recent registry actions, transaction valuations, or detailed condition reports is published for this individual airframe.

The airframe’s cabin is configured as a single-pilot (I/SP) executive layout, typically fitted for 5–8 seats, and is intended to support short–medium range business missions consistent with its 1,328 nm range and 355 kts cruise speed. The operator is based in Santa Fe, NM, US, under the ownership of VIENTOS AIR LLC, suggesting regional business or charter operations from that location. Specific avionics fit and onboard amenities for this serial number are not published, and there are no published maintenance notes tied to this airframe in the provided data. Given the twin JT15D-1 engines and the certification as a single-pilot executive platform, typical mission profiles would include point-to-point corporate transport, short-notice charters, and owner-operator flights within continental U.S. ranges.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, built by Cessna (Textron Aviation), occupies the light jet performance niche for late-1970s designs, offering moderate speed and transcontinental-but-short-range capability with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. It competes historically with other light jets of the era powered by small turbofans, and remains of interest to owner-operators and niche charter operators who value single-pilot certification and economical operation. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe reflect typical vintage jet issues—age-related corrosion control, component life limits, and parts availability for JT15D-series engines—although no serial-specific airworthiness or resale data are provided.
