N987CJ

The airframe bearing tail number N987CJ is a 1988-built Cessna S550 Citation S/II, serial S550-0152, completed by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by M&R AIR LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, Delaware; this ownership forms the principal recorded operator and base. The airframe’s known valuation is $1,815,000, reflecting its mature age and configuration. No other registry transfers or notable incidents are published in the supplied data.

This specific Citation S/II is outfitted with a nine-passenger executive center-club cabin: a forward two-place divan, dual writing tables, a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory provide a traditional light-jet executive layout. Avionics fitted to this airframe include a Universal Avionics 3-tube EFIS (EFI890) with Synthetic Vision, a Universal UNS-1D FMS, Collins radios, Primus 300 SL weather radar, TCAS II and TAWS, supporting IFR and dispatch into varied environments. Typical missions for this airframe type and fit are short- to medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter legs within the aircraft’s approximately 1,998 nm range and cruise speed near 403 kts, operated from its owner’s Wilmington, DE location. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would reflect the age and JT15D-4 engine type alongside avionics modernization status as supplied.

The Cessna S550 Citation S/II occupies the light twin-jet niche offering moderate range and cruise speed suitable for owner-operators and small charter operators. Competing models in the same era and mission set typically include other light-cabin jets with similar seating and range; buyers evaluate performance, maintenance history, and avionics fit when assessing value. For this airframe, the combination of original JT15D-4 powerplants, an upgraded avionics suite with Synthetic Vision, and a nine-passenger executive interior are key resale and operational considerations that drive market interest and maintenance planning.
