N998TX

This entry covers airframe N998TX, a 2002-built example of the Cessna 750 Citation X with manufacturer serial number 750-0198. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by the New York–based corporate operator RYAN AIR LLC (New York, NY). The airframe retains its original manufacturer configuration and registry status with no other owners listed; acquired and operated under corporate registry by RYAN AIR LLC. Condition and valuation data are not published in the supplied dataset.

The cabin of N998TX is fitted in a typical executive layout accommodating 8–12 passengers in a club configuration, featuring executive seating and a forward galley/refreshment area consistent with original Citation X interiors. Avionics reflect the original equipment fit commonly installed on early Citation X airframes, specifically the Honeywell Primus 2000 suite. With a high cruise speed of 528 kts and a long-range capability of 3,390 nm, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and some transoceanic corporate missions from its New York base. Routine operation under corporate ownership implies scheduled heavy maintenance and interior refurbishment cycles appropriate for an early-2000s long-range business jet.

The Cessna 750 Citation X occupies the high-speed, long-range end of the light-to-midsize business-jet market, distinguished by a high Mach-capable cruise and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft. Powered by twin AE3007C engines producing 6,442 lbf each, the type competes with high-performance entries from Bombardier and Gulfstream in missions prioritizing speed and point-to-point range. For used-airframe buyers and charter operators, early-2000s Citation X examples like N998TX typically command attention for their cruise performance but require attention to older-generation avionics and airframe/engine maintenance histories when assessing resale or retrofit economics.
