N990M

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N990M, a 1989-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 5500608. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to MENZIL ENTERPRISES INC, a corporate owner located in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, United States, which serves as its primary operator/home base. The airframe’s manufacturer is Cessna (Textron Aviation) and it is listed in the fixed-wing multi-engine category. Public registry actions for this airframe are limited to its United States registration; further transaction history or condition valuations have not been published.

This airframe is configured in a typical executive layout with an eight-place cabin and an enclosed lavatory, reflecting a standard corporate interior for the Citation II lineage. Operated from West Mifflin, Pennsylvania by its corporate owner, the aircraft is suited to medium-range executive missions consistent with its approximately 1,900 nm range and high-altitude capability. The combination of an eight-seat executive cabin and 43,000 ft service ceiling supports regional to transcontinental point-to-point business travel profiles commonly undertaken by corporate operators. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofan support and the established airframe type career, though specific maintenance status for this serial is not published.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a performance niche as a light-medium business jet offering higher cruise speed and altitude than earlier Citation models while retaining single-aisle, short-field flexibility. With cruise speeds around 403 kts and a useful range near 1,900 nm, the model competes historically against contemporaries in the light-cabin jet segment. Buyer and charter demand for individual airframes typically reflects airframe age, avionics fit, engine status, and overall maintenance records; for this specific airframe, serial 5500608 and corporate ownership through MENZIL ENTERPRISES INC are primary identifying factors for any resale or operational evaluation.
