N193JC1991 Cessna Citation III

Overview

This entry covers airframe N193JC, a factory-built Cessna Citation III (Model 650) completed in 1991 with serial number 650-0199. The airframe is listed as owned by Southern Sky Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US, and is registered in the US. The machine is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine category jet operated from the owner’s Houston base.

Operations & Cabin

The interior configuration documented for this specific airframe, the listing-refurbished 2021 layout, features a forward double side-facing divan, a mid-cabin four-place club, aft dual forward-facing seats, and a belted lav seat, providing seating for 12 in a mixed-club and divan arrangement. Original avionics fit for the model included Sperry/Honeywell SPZ-650 and Collins Pro Line II radios; the listing for this airframe reports the addition of a Gogo ATG 5000 for onboard connectivity. Typical mission profiles consistent with the installed performance, cruise of 418 kts and a range of 2,054 nm, would support medium-to-long regional transport and business charter operations from the Houston operator base. Maintenance considerations for this individual jet would reflect its twin Garrett TFE731-3B engines and the documented 1991 build year, with attention to systems common to the Model 650 family.

Model & Market Context

As a Model 650 airframe, this Cessna Citation III occupies a mid-to-upper performance niche within Cessna’s business jet lineup, offering high cruise speed and a long service ceiling of 51,000 ft for its era. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on engine cycles on its Garrett TFE731-3B powerplants, the provenance of the single registered owner, and the condition reflected in the 2021 listing configuration.
