N127RG Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
2x Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 give the Bombardier Global 5500 a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, operating well above weather and congested airspace. N127RG cruises at 499 knots, connecting city pairs across 5,700 nautical miles in a single fuel load. For operators routing New York to Dubai or Los Angeles to Tokyo, this range eliminates the cost and delay of a tech stop.
Mission Profile
N127RG is configured for the missions that define ultra-long-range aviation: board meetings that cross time zones, ownership transitions between hemispheres, and routing that treats oceans as waypoints rather than barriers. The Bombardier Global 5500's 16-seat cabin at 42.5 ft by 8.2 ft by 6.3 ft delivers the space to do all of this without compromise.
Charter Authorization
N127RG is Part 135 certified and authorized for charter operations. The Bombardier Global 5500's intercontinental range makes it suitable for nonstop transatlantic, transpacific, and ultra-long domestic routing. Reach out to discuss availability.
Insider Note
One detail that rarely appears in spec sheets: the Bombardier Global 5500's cabin altitude at max cruise. At 51,000 feet, the pressurization system holds the cabin at approximately 4,500 feet, which is lower than most competitors. Passengers arrive less fatigued after 12-hour flights. N127RG's 2000 build year means it carries the latest iteration of this system.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N127RG is a 2000 Citation held by KLSIT US HOLDINGS LLC. Cessna has delivered over 3,500 aircraft in the straight-wing Citation family. This briefing covers charter economics and acquisition reality.
Fleet Position
Over 3,500 straight-wing Citations were produced, making it the most numerous business jet family in history. FAA data shows N127RG based in WILLIAMS BAY, WI. Parts support and maintenance expertise are ubiquitous: every Cessna-authorized service center in the U.S. can maintain these aircraft. No other business jet has deeper parts inventory or more available mechanics.
Charter Availability
N127RG is Part 135 charter authorized. Straight-wing Citation charter rates range from $2,200 to $3,800 per flight hour depending on variant. These are among the most affordable jet charter options available. The tradeoff is speed and range: straight-wing Citations cruise at 350 to 420 knots with 1,500 to 2,000 nm range, adequate for regional operations but limited for transcontinental routes.
Market Position
N127RG is a 2000 Citation (Bravo, Ultra, V, or VII) at $1.5M to $3M. These variants brought improved engines (PW530A on the Bravo, JT15D-5D on the Ultra/V), better avionics, and refined interiors. The Citation V and Bravo are the sweet spot of the straight-wing family: modern enough for daily operations, affordable enough for mid-market companies.
At this vintage, the straight-wing Citation competes with turboprops like the King Air 350 on acquisition cost while offering 30 to 50 knot higher cruise speeds and jet altitude capability. For companies transitioning from turboprops to jets, the Citation V or Bravo is the natural next step.
Mission Profile
Core strength: the lowest total cost of jet ownership. At $2,200 to $3,800 per flight hour, straight-wing Citations deliver jet speed and altitude for less than the operating cost of many turboprops. For organizations that need to fly above weather at 400 knots without spending $5,000+ per hour, the Citation family is the answer.
When to Choose Something Else
Do not charter a straight-wing Citation if speed matters. At 350 to 420 knots, these aircraft are 30 to 100 knots slower than swept-wing jets. On routes over 800 nm, the speed difference adds 20 to 40 minutes versus a Phenom 300 or Learjet 45.
Ownership & Operations
Part 91 operations cover owner-flown and company-flown aircraft under general operating rules. Part 135 governs on-demand air charter, requiring higher crew qualifications, maintenance standards, and operational oversight. An aircraft can operate under both parts: Part 91 for owner use and Part 135 when offered for charter revenue. Dual-use arrangements offset ownership costs by generating charter income during idle periods.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Pre-purchase inspections are non-negotiable in aircraft acquisitions. A qualified maintenance facility conducts a detailed review of airframe, engines, avionics, and records. Inspection costs range from $15,000 to $75,000 depending on aircraft size and complexity. Findings from the pre-buy determine final pricing, identify upcoming maintenance events, and reveal any damage history that affects value.
Charter Market Context
Charter demand for business jets follows seasonal and economic patterns. Q4 (October through December) sees peak demand driven by year-end business travel, holiday flights, and tax planning (asset purchases before December 31). Q1 starts strong with CES, Davos, and Super Bowl driving specific route demand. Summer leisure travel to resort destinations creates predictable seasonal corridors.
