N830EC

This article describes the specific airframe bearing registration N830EC, a 1987-built Cessna S550 Citation S/II with serial number S550-0139 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to AVFRAC NB LLC, an LLC based in New Braunfels, Texas, which serves as the primary operator/home base for this airframe as reflected in public registration data. There are no separate published records of multiple ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond its current LLC registration. Valuation and condition highlights for this particular airframe are not published.

This airframe is configured in a typical executive cabin arrangement accommodating 6–8 passenger layouts, and the data for this airframe cites an eight-seat capacity in standard documentation. The Citation S/II airframe with tail N830EC is used in fixed-wing multi-engine roles consistent with corporate and on-demand charter missions operated from its New Braunfels, Texas base. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range executive transport up to its quoted range of 1,998 nm and cruise phases around 403 kts, operating to flight levels approaching its ceiling of 43,000 ft. Specific avionics fit, interior refurbishment history, onboard amenities, and maintenance status for this serial number are not published in the available dataset.

The Cessna S550 Citation S/II occupies a light-citation performance niche within Textron Aviation’s business jet family, characterized by twin JT15D powerplants and transcontinental-short capability reflected in a sub-2,000 nm range and high cruise speed. Competing models in the same era include other light jets offering similar seating and mission flexibility; buyer and charter demand historically favors airframes with well-documented maintenance histories and updated interiors. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe, S550-0139, will depend on documented inspections, engine time for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 units, and any interior or avionics upgrades, none of which are published in the supplied data.
