RADAR ESTIMATE

What N1200N 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 N1200N's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N1200N

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

Overview

This entry covers airframe N1200N, a 1992-built example of the Cessna 550 Citation II with manufacturer serial 550-0681. The airframe is owned by Coulson Aviation (USA) Inc, a corporation based in Portland, OR, US, and is registered in the US.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is outfitted with an eight-passenger executive cabin in a conventional executive layout, supporting typical corporate or charter transport missions over short-to-medium long-range sectors enabled by a 1,900 nm range and a 384 kt cruise speed. Based on the registered owner’s location in Portland, OR, US, routine operations and maintenance are likely to be conducted from that region, though specific operator basing and deployment history beyond the stated corporate ownership are not published. Avionics fit and detailed interior amenities for this individual airframe are not published in the provided data. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe are likewise not detailed; however, its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofan engines and 1992 build year would be central items in any type-specific maintenance and inspection planning.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light business jet niche, offering eight-seat executive capacity, a high-single-cruise speed profile, and a service ceiling up to 43,000 ft, making it suitable for regional executive transport and on-demand charter. Competing types in this performance band typically emphasize low operating cost and straightforward systems; lifecycle considerations for a 1992 airframe include engine and avionics upgrades and component life limits that impact maintenance and resale.
