N8344M

This entry documents airframe N8344M, a 1988-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0577. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the corporation FLIGHT SOLUTIONS CORP, based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US. The airframe reflects typical late-1980s Citation II configuration and, based on available data, carries an estimated market value of $856,000. No additional public registry events or prior owners are listed in the supplied data.

This airframe is typically fitted with a six– to eight-place executive cabin layout featuring a forward club seating area and an aft belted lavatory, though exact fitment is operator-dependent for N8344M. Operated from its owner’s base in Fort Lauderdale, the aircraft is well suited to short- to mid-range missions across the continental U.S., Caribbean hops, and point-to-point executive transport within its near-2,000 nm range and high cruise speed. Standard operational considerations for this airframe include maintenance and inspection cycles appropriate for twin JT15D-4 engines and aging airframe systems associated with a 1988 build year. Cabin furnishings and avionics fitment on this specific aircraft are not detailed in the provided data and therefore remain operator-dependent.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and ceiling than many entry-level light jets while maintaining relatively economical operating costs for its class. Common competitors for buyers or charter operators include other late-1980s to 1990s light-cabin jets with similar mission capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for N8344M center on airframe age, cumulative airframe and engine cycles, and the market for well-maintained Citation IIs, which typically influences values in the mid-six-figure range consistent with the stated $856,000 valuation.
