RESEARCH NOTES

About N200CG

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

Overview

This entry covers airframe N200CG, a Cessna 500 Citation I registered in the US and bearing manufacturer serial number 500-0230. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation Tropic Bird Supply Inc, based in Hypoluxo, FL, and is operated from that home base for the owner's executive or corporate transport needs. Registered to Tropic Bird Supply Inc in Hypoluxo, Florida, the airframe reflects a typical ownership profile for legacy light business jets retained in corporate use rather than fleet charter.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this Citation I follows the common executive layouts for the model, usually a four-place club forward arrangement with one or two aft seats or a small divan, with five to eight passenger executive configurations being common; this airframe conforms to those typical arrangements. Avionics fit varies by retrofit, but the platform originally carried autopilots such as the Sperry SPZ-500 and many examples, including retrofit candidates like this one, are commonly upgraded to Garmin navigation units (GNS-430/530) and modern GTX transponders. Typical missions for N200CG would be short- to medium-range corporate point-to-point travel within a roughly 1,300 nm radius at cruise speeds near 352 knots, operating from its Hypoluxo, Florida base for regional business use. Routine maintenance considerations reflect legacy-jet systems and the prevalence of avionics upgrades in the fleet.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 500 Citation I occupies a light, twinjet business niche characterized by relatively high cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 41,000 feet while carrying a small executive complement up to 8 passengers. Powered by twin JT15D-1 engines of 2,200 lbf thrust each, the model appeals to buyers seeking fast regional capability without the operating cost of larger jets. In the market, demand tends to favor well-maintained, avionics-upgraded examples for owner-operators and small charter operators; maintenance and resale considerations focus on engine/airframe hours, corrosion inspections, and the extent of avionics retrofits.
