RESEARCH NOTES

About N10LY

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers airframe N10LY, a 1983-built Cessna 550 Citation II carrying serial number 550-0466. The airframe is on the U.S. registry and is recorded as owned by Air & Water Research Corp of Wilmington, DE, US. Registration records list the Wilmington-based company as the current owner and operator on file. No publicized recent valuation or condition survey is provided in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this airframe is fitted in an 8-place executive layout (standard light-jet executive seating), reflecting a typical light-citation interior for corporate transport or on-demand charter missions. Specific avionics fit, mission equipment, and retrofit records for this serial are not published in the supplied data. With an eight-seat executive configuration and the Citation II’s performance, the aircraft is suited to regional point-to-point executive transport, short transcontinental hops within its published range, and technical missions compatible with a small corporate operator based in Wilmington, Delaware. Maintenance status, recent inspections, and any notable interior or exterior refurbishments are not provided.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering moderate transcontinental capability with a cruise around 384 kts and a service ceiling near 43,000 ft. Powered by twin JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each, the model competes with contemporaries in the light jet category and appeals to buyers seeking eight-place executive capacity and efficient short-to-medium range performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1983 airframe such as N10LY typically hinge on completed maintenance programs, avionics upgrades, and corrosion/airframe life inspections, none of which are detailed in the provided dataset.
