N1000E 2002 Cessna Citation Bravo

Overview

This airframe, registered as N1000E, is a 2002-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo bearing serial number 550-1011. The aircraft is owned by WR Hess Co, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this airframe. The airframe carries a US registration and retains the common factory equipment fit associated with the Bravo line; no additional registry actions or valuation details are published for this specific ship. Maintenance and operational provenance are consistent with a factory-standard Bravo delivered in 2002 and remaining in corporate service.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin in this airframe conforms to an executive 6-8 place typical layout with club and forward-facing seats and a belted lavatory, providing an interior suited to corporate missions and short- to mid-range executive transport. The installed avionics suite is the factory-common Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting conventional flight management, navigation, and communications typical for the model and era. With an approximate cruise of 394 kts and a range of 1,900 nm, the aircraft is configured for regional point-to-point business missions, including multi-city charters or owner-flown corporate routing from its base in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Routine maintenance considerations follow the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A program and Bravo airframe schedules as standard for a 2002 production ship.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering transregional range and high-single-engine-out climb performance typical of Citation twins. Powered in this example by 2× Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines producing 2,887 lbf each, the airframe competes with other light-cabin jets in the late-model market for buyers seeking efficient short-haul speed and a balanced operating cost profile. Demand among private owners and small-corporate operators is driven by the aircraft’s common pilot type familiarity, established Honeywell systems such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, and a service network for Bravo-class maintenance and parts continuity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial reflect its 2002 manufacture date and corporate ownership history with WR Hess Co.
