Overview

This airframe, registered in the United States as N111MK, is a Cessna Citation I/SP (Model 501), serial number 501-0227. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Dodson International Parts Inc, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US, which serves as the listed operator/home base in available records. Condition highlights from the listings emphasize an executive interior refit and avionics retrofits rather than factory-original fitments.

Operations & Cabin

Broker information for this airframe reports a 5-6 passenger executive cabin layout with dual-club seating, a forward refreshment center, and an aft flushing lavatory, indicating a configuration optimized for short to medium-range business missions. Reported avionics upgrades include a Garmin GTN 625 GPS/MFD and a Garmin GTX-345R transponder; some listings indicate RVSM-capable modifications, which would permit more efficient high-altitude cruise operations. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, given its range and cruise performance, would include regional executive transport and single-leg charter hops up to roughly 1,300 nm, operating from its owner’s base in Rantoul, Kansas with maintenance and parts support considerations reflecting its corporate-ownership status.

Model & Market Context

The Citation I/SP (Model 501) occupies the light business jet niche, offering twin JT15D turbofans, modest operating costs, and single-pilot certification in many configurations. Competing models in its era and market segment include early Learjet and Beechjet variants; buyers and charter operators value airframes with updated avionics and RVSM compliance, which can materially affect resale value.
