N851HS

The airframe bearing registration N851HS is a 2002-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with manufacturer serial number 550-1028. This specific airframe is shown in records as owned by CP EXPANSION 2 LLC, a corporation based in Little Rock, AR, US, and operates on the US registry. The airframe’s build year of 2002 and its corporate ownership are notable registry details for tracking maintenance status and transaction history. Current valuation is recorded at $2,295,000, reflecting its condition and equipment fit for its class.

The cabin of N851HS is configured in an executive seven–eight place layout featuring a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory, a common executive fit for short- to medium-haul business missions. Avionics on this airframe center on a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS installation and are commonly complemented by Garmin GTN 650/750 units along with traffic and terrain safety systems such as TCAS II and EGPWS, providing situational awareness for operator crews. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include executive charter and corporate transport over ranges up to 1,900 nautical miles at cruise speeds around 394 knots and operating up to flight levels approaching 45,000 feet. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect the PW530A engine type and Honeywell avionics suite when scheduling inspections and component upgrades.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, short- to mid-range business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than many turboprops while remaining more economical than larger light jets. Competing models in this performance and size category generally attract owner-operators and charter companies seeking a balance of operating cost, payload, and range similar to the Bravo’s 1,900 nm and cruise of 394 kts. For resale and maintenance planning, considerations tied to this airframe include age (built 2002), engine type (PW530A) maintenance history, and the presence of an EFIS-based avionics suite, all factors that inform buyer demand and pricing in the pre-owned light business jet market.
