N852HA

The airframe bearing registration N852HA is a 1980-built Cessna 550 Citation II, serial number 550-0382. It is recorded as owned by Airspeed Aviation LLC (an LLC based in Millersburg, OH, US), and is registered in the US; this ownership establishes its operator/home base linkage to Millersburg. The airframe's equipped avionics and interior configuration are consistent with a late-serial Citation II outfitted for light corporate transport. The aircraft carries an estimated market value of $969,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit, and utility-condition valuation rather than a certified-new standard.

The cabin of N852HA is laid out with a forward three-place divan, a forward belted lavatory seat, an aft three-place bench, and two aft-facing chairs, producing the listed capacity of nine passengers plus two crew. Avionics installed include a Garmin suite—Garmin 750WAAS, Garmin 650W, dual Garmin 345R ADS‑B transponders—augmented by an SPZ-500 autopilot and a Primus 300 color radar, supporting IFR corporate missions and airways operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would encompass short to medium-range business trips within its 1,378 nm range and high-speed climb/cruise operations to FL430 at its 321 kts cruise, often originating from or returning to its Millersburg-area base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft are driven by its 1980 build year and JT15D-1 powerplants, with equipment condition and avionics currency directly influencing dispatch availability and resale valuation.

The Cessna 550 Citation II sits in the light corporate jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and payload capability than early Citation I variants while remaining more economical than midsize jets. Competing models historically include light jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and Dassault Falcon variants at the lower end of the market. For buyers and charter operators evaluating N852HA, factors include the airframe’s avionics modernity, Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1 maintenance lifecycle, interior configuration for nine pax, and the listed value of $969,000, which positions it as an economical acquisition relative to newer models but requiring ongoing maintenance investment typical of early-1980s airframes.
