RADAR ESTIMATE

What N1163M is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation II on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N1163M's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

About N1163M

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

Overview

This airframe, registered N1163M, is a 1988-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0568 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the United States and is registered to New World Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Edinburg, TX, US, which serves as the current owner and operator. Administrative registry entries and ownership status are current to the provided dataset.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this Cessna 550 Citation II airframe accommodates 8 seats in a typical light-jet executive configuration suited to short- to medium-haul missions. Operated from its owner’s base in Edinburg, TX, US, typical missions for this airframe would include regional business travel and on-demand charter sectors up to its maximum ferry range of 1,998 nm at cruising speeds near 403 kts. Avionics fit and specific interior appointments are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations for this airframe include aging-system inspections and engine-specific programs tied to the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 powerplants. The aircraft’s registry and valuation suggest continued utility in owner-operated or light charter roles.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for its era with a service ceiling of 43,000 ft and typical cruise performance around 403 kts. For prospective purchasers or brokers, considerations include engine-time remaining on the JT15D-4 units, inspection-compliance history, and the aircraft’s suitability for continued owner-operation out of Edinburg, TX, US.
