N101JL 2001 Cessna Citation Bravo

Overview

This airframe, registered as N101JL, is a 2001-built Cessna 550B Citation Bravo with serial number 550-1002. The airframe is owned and operated by Lake Country Jet LLC, an LLC based in Waukesha, WI, US, and remains on the US registry. No public record of additional owners or major registry transfers is provided in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this Citation Bravo is described in line with the type’s typical executive fit: a 7-8 passenger layout with forward refreshment center and a belted aft lavatory, with executive club seating being common aboard the model. Avionics aboard this airframe are reported as the Honeywell Primus 1000, the typical factory fit for the Bravo series, though some Bravos were later retrofitted with UNS-1 or more modern FMS units; the supplied data does not indicate whether this specific airframe has undergone such an upgrade. With a 1,900 nm range and high-altitude capability to FL450, this aircraft is used for short-to-mid-range executive missions from its base in Waukesha, offering rapid point-to-point transport for corporate or private operations. Maintenance considerations follow typical Bravo practices for twin turbofan light jets equipped with PW530A engines and associated avionics suites.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550B Citation Bravo occupies the light business jet niche between turboprops and larger midsize jets, offering relatively high cruise speed of 394 kts and 45,000 ft ceiling performance for efficient regional travel. Competing models in its era included lightweight jets from manufacturers such as Beechcraft and Dassault Falcon’s smaller types; buyer demand historically emphasizes reliability, operating economy, and cabin comfort for 7-8 passengers.
