N845BB

The airframe registered as N845BB is a 2000-built Cessna 650 Citation VII with serial number 650-7115. The aircraft is owned by N845BB PARTNERS LLC, a corporation based in Richmond, VA, US, and remains registered in the United States. As a late-model Citation VII airframe, this airliner-class business jet reflects the factory configuration and maintenance practices typical for Cessna (Textron Aviation) deliveries around the turn of the millennium. No public record of prior operators or major registry transfers is provided in the available data; ownership is recorded to the named corporate entity in Richmond.

The subject airframe is certified for a 12-seat configuration, though it typically carries a six- to eight-passenger executive interior in line with common Citation VII layouts, providing flexibility between high-density certification and executive comfort. Operated from its registered base in Richmond, VA, the aircraft’s performance — including a long-range capability of 1,715 nm and high cruise speed — supports mid- to transcontinental US missions and on-demand charter or corporate shuttle roles. Avionics fit is not detailed in the provided data; maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard practices for Garrett/Honeywell TFE731-powered Citations, including engine inspection cycles and component service bulletins applicable to the TFE731-4R series. The corporate ownership model suggests utilization patterns consistent with owner-operators or managed fleet operations rather than line commercial service.

The Cessna 650 Citation VII occupies a niche as a high-performance light-to-mid-size business jet with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and cruise speeds around 452 kts, targeting operators needing faster cruise and higher-altitude capability than many light jets. Competitors in its era included upgraded versions of the Dassault Falcon 10/100 series and later-model light-medium business jets offering similar transcontinental mission profiles. For prospective buyers or charter operators, considerations center on the airframe’s age (built in 2000), TFE731-4R engine maintenance history, interior refurbishment status given its typical 6–8 executive layout, and the resale market for early-2000s Citation VIIs.
