N95PW

The airframe bearing tail number N95PW is a 2002-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo with serial 550-1018, operated and owned by St3 Cattle Feeders LLC, a corporation based in Amarillo, TX, US. The airframe’s US registration and corporate ownership have defined its operational base and administrative oversight in the Texas Panhandle. Recorded ownership by St3 Cattle Feeders LLC places the aircraft in corporate, non-airline service rather than part of a fractional or charter fleet. The airframe is appraised at $2,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration and the Bravo’s market position among light business jets.

This specific Citation Bravo is fitted with a typical executive cabin accommodating a forward galley/refreshment area, mid‑cabin club seating and a belted aft lavatory/storage module, supporting a standard 7–8 passenger executive layout for short to medium sector missions. Avionics aboard are centered on the Honeywell Primus 1000 three‑tube EFIS suite, a common factory fit for Bravos, with many in the type also accepting Universal UNS‑1 FMS options; this airframe’s avionics profile aligns it with conventional glass‑cockpit procedural operations. Based in Amarillo under corporate control, typical missions would include regional business shuttles, owner-operated positioning flights and ad hoc executive transport across the contiguous United States within the 1,500 nm operational radius. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow PW530A engine program requirements and Bravo‑specific airframe inspections commensurate with a 2002 model year Citation.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet niche, offering transcontinental short‑to‑mid‑range capability at cruise speeds around 342 kts and service ceilings to 45,000 ft, competing with contemporaries in the light jet class for owner‑operators and small corporate flight departments. Demand in resale and charter markets tends to favor well‑maintained Bravos with upgraded avionics; the $2,000,000 valuation reflects depreciation, engine program status and typical interior configurations like the executive 7–8 seat layout. From a maintenance and resale standpoint, operators weigh the Bravo’s proven operating economics and simple systems against the market pressure from newer light jets with newer avionics and lower per‑hour costs.
