N909PS

This airframe, registered as N909PS, is a 1977-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP with serial number 501-0008. Manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), the airframe is listed in civil registry to EIDE COMMUNICATIONS INC of Minneapolis, MN, US, a corporate owner and operator. The two-engine jet has been continuously identified in US registry records under that corporate name, with ownership recorded to a Minneapolis-based corporation rather than an individual. Public records for this specific airframe emphasize its production vintage and corporate operation; valuation and condition details are not published in the supplied data.

The registry lists an 8-place executive layout, indicating an eight-seat executive cabin configuration for N909PS. As a corporate-registered airframe, typical mission profiles for this aircraft type include short- to medium-range executive transport consistent with its 1,328 nm range and cruise speed of 357 kts, enabling point-to-point business travel within continental distances. Based at the owner’s location in Minneapolis, MN, the aircraft’s operations would be oriented to corporate flight activity rather than scheduled airline service. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow from its 1977 manufacture year and twin JT15D-1A engines, with corporate upkeep and regulatory compliance recorded through US civil registry entries.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies a light business jet niche characterized by modest cabin capacity and short- to mid-range capability; N909PS exemplifies that positioning with its 8-seat executive cabin, 357 kt cruise, and 1,328 nm range. Competing types in this performance band historically include other late-1970s light jets offering similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand for such airframes typically favors corporate owners able to support aging airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1977 vintage, corporate registration to EIDE COMMUNICATIONS INC, and its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1A powerplants.
