RADAR ESTIMATE

What N156GW is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation Bravo on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N156GW's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N156GW

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

Overview

This airframe, registered as N156GW, is a 2001-built example of the Cessna 550 Citation Bravo, serial number 550-0982. The airframe is owned by M-W Air LC, an LLC based in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, United States, and operates on the US registry. No additional public registry actions or transfers are published beyond the current ownership listing.

Operations & Cabin

This specific Citation Bravo is configured for 8 passenger seats, indicating a conventional light business jet cabin layout optimized for short- to medium-range missions. Typical operations for this airframe profile include point-to-point business travel or on-demand charter legs within its 1,900 nm range and cruise speed near 400 kts, often operated from regional and corporate bases such as its Horseshoe Bay, TX home. Detailed avionics fit and cabin amenities for this serial are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations center on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines and the support lifecycle associated with a 2001-model airframe. The aircraft’s sub-two-million-dollar valuation reflects both operational capability and the continuing maintenance and upgrade cycle common to early-2000s Citation Bravos.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo sits in the light, twin-engine turbofan category, offering a balance of cruise speed, range, and operating economics exemplified by this airframe’s 400 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. In the market, the Bravo series competes with other light jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and Beechcraft, appealing to buyers seeking efficient short- to mid-range business transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2001 Citation Bravo like N156GW typically include engine shop visits for PW530A units, avionics modernization cycles, and airframe refurbishments that drive valuation and charter marketability.
