Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N938AM is a factory-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo completed in 2000 with serial number 550-0938. It is owned by CASE SERVICES LLC, an Arizona limited liability company based in Scottsdale, AZ, US, and appears on the US civil register. The aircraft's configuration and logbook entries indicate operation in the executive charter/owner-flown segment; there are no publicly noted incident records or major registry actions associated with this tail. Market valuation and condition summaries for this specific airframe place it at $2,295,000, reflective of age, model desirability, and typical systems fit.
N938AM is configured in the standard Bravo executive layout, accommodating an executive 6–8 passenger cabin with the possibility of a belted lavatory option as equipped on many Bravos. The typical avionics fit for this airframe is the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite as a factory installation, though airframe-specific retrofits are possible and commonly undertaken in the type. Operationally the aircraft is suited to short-to-medium international and domestic missions within its 1,900 nm radius and 400-knot cruise speed, commonly used for owner-operator transport or light charter flights out of its Scottsdale, Arizona base. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life Citation Bravo practice items, including calendar-driven systems checks and periodic engine hot section inspections for the PW530A powerplants.
The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for many US routings with a 45,000 ft service ceiling and efficient cruise speed. Comparable competitors in mission profile and cabin size include light-cabin jets from Bombardier and Embraer of similar vintage; the Bravo's lower acquisition cost and parts commonality with the Citation family sustain buyer and charter demand. For resale and operations, potential purchasers evaluate total time, avionics fit (Honeywell Primus 1000 is typical), and life-limited component status; the listed value of $2,295,000 for this specific airframe reflects those market and maintenance considerations.
