N990TC

This airframe, registered as N990TC, is a Cessna 550B Citation Bravo built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 550-0963. The aircraft is owned by JET AIR INC, a corporation based in Iowa City, IA, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe is valued at approximately $2,200,000 and is documented with a typical corporate executive fit; no other registry actions or prior owners are published in the provided data. Current ownership by JET AIR INC positions the aircraft for corporate or charter operations based from its Iowa City base.

The cabin for this airframe typically features a 7–8 place executive layout with a forward refreshment center and a belted aft lavatory; exact configuration may vary by owner fit-out. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000 in typical installations for this model, though many airframes have aftermarket Garmin upgrades and this airframe may reflect such variability across the type. Operationally the airframe’s 1,720 nm range and 342 kts cruise speed make it suitable for short to medium-haul corporate missions and on-demand charter sectors originating from its Iowa City operator base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft will follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engine programs and Citation Bravo airframe schedules; interior and avionics maintenance will reflect the executive fit and any aftermarket avionics modifications.

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering transregional capability with a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft and efficient cruise performance. Competing models in its era include other light jets that prioritize similar mission profiles—single-pilot or two-pilot corporate transport, day-range charters and owner-operator use. Buyer demand for a 2001 airframe like N990TC typically weighs total time, maintenance status, and avionics fit; the presence of original Honeywell Primus 1000 gear or upgraded Garmin suites materially affects resale value and charter desirability. Resale and maintenance costs are influenced by the twin PW530A engines’ lifecycle and the documented executive interior configuration.
