N890AH

This entry describes airframe N890AH, a Cessna 500 Citation I with manufacturer serial number 500-0196. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Aerospace Asset Holdings LLC (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US), and is currently registered in the United States under that corporate owner. The airframe retains its original twin-engine Citation I configuration and is valued at $424,000, a figure reflective of its mature market position and ongoing operator maintenance needs. Routine registry and valuation information indicate continued civilian corporate ownership rather than active airline or military service.

The airframe’s six-seat configuration supports short to mid-range business transport, positioning N890AH for point-to-point corporate missions and light charter work within its 1,328 nm range and at a cruise speed near 352 kts. Based on its corporate ownership in Wilmington, DE, typical operations would center on regional U.S. hubs and cross-country hops consistent with light-jet mission profiles. Cabin and avionics specifics for this serial are not published; owners of Citation I airframes commonly maintain simple executive interiors and avionics that meet Part 135 or private operation requirements. Maintenance planning for this airframe focuses on age-related systems and the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D engine series life-limited items and inspection cycles.

The Cessna 500 Citation I occupies the light business-jet niche as an early-generation entry in the Citation family, prized for straightforward systems, low operating complexity, and runway performance. Competing types historically include early Learjet and Beechjet models, with demand driven by buyers seeking affordable entry-level jets for owner-operators or small charter firms. Given the aircraft’s age and the provided valuation of $424,000, resale and marketability hinge on maintenance history, engine status, and avionics updates; these factors typically dominate lifecycle costs and affect competitive positioning relative to newer, more capable light jets.
