N976GA

N976GA is a Cessna 550 Citation II (serial 5500165) built in 1980 and currently listed with U.S. registration. The airframe carries a typical mid-size light corporate-jet executive cabin and is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofan engines. The airframe shows long-term retrofit and equipment activity consistent with common Citation II upgrades (WAAS/LPV, ADS‑B compliance, RVSM where fitted).

The airplane is typically outfitted in an 8-passenger double-club executive configuration with an aft belted lavatory seat and forward refreshment center; interiors described in listings use beige leather, walnut cabinetry and a forward refreshment center. Avionics suites vary by retrofit but examples for this airframe include a mixed Collins/Sperry/Avionics stack with GPS/WAAS units, TAWS/TCAS and ADS‑B transponder equipment. Routine maintenance tracking is CESCOM-style and the airframe has been used in private/corporate operations and brokered sales/ownership transfers over its life.

The Cessna 550 Citation II is a development of the Citation family offering longer range and higher cruise than earlier 500-series models; certificated service ceiling is about 43,000 ft with typical long-range performance near 1,800–1,900 nm and cruise speeds in the high 300-knot range. The II/Bravo series has been widely updated in service (gross-weight increase mods, avionics refreshes and baggage/aft‑cargo mods) and competes against light-to-mid-size business jets for regional corporate missions, air-taxi legs and owner-operator roles.
