N1717R1983 Cessna Citation I/SP

Overview

This airframe, registered as N1717R, is a 1983-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP with serial number 501-0251. The jet is owned by the corporation Jaaack Air LLC, based in Henderson, NV, US, and carries a United States registration. Registered to Jaaack Air LLC in Henderson, Nevada, the airframe reflects a long-lived light business jet pedigree from Cessna (Textron Aviation). Available data emphasize its corporate ownership and configuration rather than any recent publicized transfers or valuation events.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in an executive layout configured for up to 6-8 passengers, with the I/SP model specifically offering a single-pilot option; a typical aft lavatory option is noted for this configuration. With a cruise speed of 322 knots and a nominal range of 1,328 nautical miles, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range corporate missions, point-to-point regional executive transport, and owner-operator single-pilot operations when equipped accordingly. Based in Henderson, Nevada, the operator profile suggests use for domestic US business travel; routine maintenance considerations align with twin-jet Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D series engine support and US-based regulatory oversight under its US registration.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business jet niche, offering trans-regional performance characterized by its 322 kt cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling powered by two JT15D-1A engines producing 2,200 lbf each. In the used marketplace, aircraft of this family are typically evaluated on airframe hours, engine program status, and interior/refurbishment condition; this specific unit’s executive 6-8 seat layout and single-pilot capability influence appeal to owner-operators and small charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on aging-system refurbishment, Pratt & Whitney Canada engine support, and documentation tied to its serial 501-0251 and corporate ownership.
