N843ML

This entry covers the airframe registered as N843ML, a 2001-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with serial number 550-0953. Ownership timeline and operator/home base are Not published for this specific airframe. Notable registry actions for the airframe are Not published. The aircraft is recorded with a U.S. registration (US) and an estimated market value of $2,000,000, reflecting its age and equipment in the light business jet category.

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical 7–8 place executive layout with a mid-cabin four-place club configuration, forward and rear single seats, and a belted lavatory option. Avionics are a typical Bravo fit with a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting the aircraft’s navigation, communication, and flight management needs for short- to medium-haul business missions. Typical mission profiles for the type include point-to-point corporate and charter flights within a roughly 1,700 nm radius at cruise speeds near 400 kts, operating from regional airports and fixed-base operators; specific operator base and route history for N843ML is Not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Bravo program, including recurrent checks on the PW530A engines and avionics life-limited components under U.S. regulatory oversight.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering turbofan efficiency, modest operating costs, and useful short-field capability with a service ceiling to 43,000 ft. Competing models in its era include other light jets with similar range and capacity; buyer demand tends toward owner-operators and charter companies seeking seven-place executive interiors and reliable avionics like the Honeywell Primus 1000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 airframe emphasize engine overhaul status of the PW530A units and avionics upgrades when comparing its $2,000,000 valuation to newer or retrofitted alternatives.
