RADAR ESTIMATE
What N18HC is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation I/SP on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N18HC's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N18HC
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing tail number N18HC is a 1981-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial number 501-0223, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation N4BZJP LLC of Asheville, NC, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this airframe. No public record of other ownership transfers or extraordinary registry actions were supplied with the data.
Operations & Cabin
The specific cabin of this airframe is described as an executive 5-8 seat layout configured for single-pilot operations in the I/SP variant, supporting typical corporate missions with seating flexibility up to eight passengers. Based at Asheville, NC with operation by N4BZJP LLC, the Citation I/SP configuration supports short-to-medium haul point-to-point flights within its stated range of 1,328 nm and cruise speeds around 357 kts, frequently used for business travel, owner-flown operations, and on-demand light charter missions. Avionics fitment details were not provided; maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 turbofan engines and the normal inspection cycles associated with 1980s vintage Citation airframes. Cabin amenities and specific avionics upgrades are not published in the supplied data.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies a light business jet niche, offering owner-flown capability combined with twin JT15D turbofans producing 2,200 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, which enables efficient climb and cruise performance relative to contemporaries. Competing models in the era and used market include other late-1970s and early-1980s light jets, with buyer demand driven by low operating cost and pilot-crew flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial-numbered airframe (501-0223) include aging-system upgrades and the life-cycle status of legacy JT15D engines, which factor into valuation and operator maintenance planning.
