N100WT 1998 Cessna Citation Bravo

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N100WT is a 1998-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo, serial 550-0858, constructed by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is currently registered in the United States and is registered to Franklin Creek Investments LLC of Theodore, Alabama, an LLC that appears as the on-record owner and operator/home base contact. No public record of prior owners or notable registry actions is provided in the data set; the available information identifies the aircraft’s build and current ownership status, which is typical for corporate-owned executive Bravos. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Bravo is described in the typical executive configuration: an executive 6-8 place club-style layout with an enclosed aft lavatory and a forward refreshment/galley area. Avionics fit for this airframe is listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000, the standard Bravo fit, with the acknowledgment that many later Bravos were optioned with Universal UNS-1K FMS and TCAS II upgrades; the supplied data does not specify whether this particular airframe has received those retrofits. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short-to-mid-range corporate transport and charter legs up to its listed ferry range, operating from regional and business airports with the performance to climb to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for a corporate-registered Bravo often focus on time-between-overhaul schedules for the PW530A engines and avionics upgrade paths.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet niche, offering efficient short-to-medium-haul performance with comfortable executive cabin amenities and transcontinental flexibility within its 1,900 nm range. Competitors in its era included light jets such as variants of the Learjet 31/35 and older Phenom/Learjet types, with buyer demand driven by operating economy, runway performance and avionics capability. For resale and charter operators, key considerations include engine program status for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A units, avionics modernization (e.g., UNS-1K/TCAS II upgrades), and interior condition given the typical 6-8 place executive layout.
