N911GM

This entry covers airframe N911GM, a 1972-built Cessna 500 Citation I with serial number 500-0048. The airframe is owned by Edd Conn Aircraft LLC, an LLC based in Edgewater, FL, US, which appears as the current operator/home base on available records. The airframe is US-registered and has been presented in market material with an indicated valuation of $375,000 and described condition consistent with an older executive light business jet. Seller listing notes and registry entries have highlighted an executive interior and recent avionics fitment updates.

The cabin of N911GM is listed as an executive 7–8 place layout (seller listing indicates executive interior) and would typically support short- to medium-range corporate missions, owner flights, or small charter ops within the continental United States. Avionics and mission equipment reported for this specific airframe include a Sperry flight director, a KX165 Nav/Com, a Garmin 430, color radar, and ADS-B (per seller listing), which together enable conventional IFR navigation, traffic/terrain awareness and transponder compliance for ADS-B airspace. Based in Edgewater, Florida under operation by Edd Conn Aircraft LLC, the airplane’s performance—particularly its 352-knot cruise and 1,326 nm range—suits regional point-to-point missions, while its 41,000 ft ceiling supports efficient high-altitude cruise and flexible routing. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1972 manufacture date and the legacy JT15D-1A engine type, which require component support and inspection regimes typical of early Citation I airframes.

The Cessna 500 Citation I occupies the early light business jet niche: modest runway performance, economical profile for owner-operators, and capability for transcontinental legs with fuel stops. Competing types historically include early Learjet and Dassault Falcon 10 derivatives in the light-cabin segment. For this particular serial and year, buyer demand is often driven by price-sensitive owners and operators seeking a classic executive interior and simple systems; resale and maintenance considerations include scarcity of some legacy parts, avionics upgrade paths (e.g., GPS and ADS-B retrofits) and the airframe’s valuation, here shown as $375,000, which reflects age, installed equipment and completion status.
