N3LL Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N3LL carries the Gulfstream G550's proven performance profile: 488-knot cruise, 6,750 NM range, and a 51,000-foot ceiling. The 2x Rolls-Royce BR710 A1-10 are well-established powerplants with predictable maintenance intervals and strong support networks.
Mission Profile
N3LL is configured for the missions that define heavy jet operations: full-day executive travel, team movements of 8-14 passengers, and routing that spans 2,000-4,000 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G550's 16-seat cabin at 43.8 ft by 7.3 ft provides the space.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N3LL under its Part 135 certificate. The Gulfstream G550 is positioned for domestic transcontinental and Caribbean routing. Contact The Jet Finder to check scheduling.
Insider Note
The Gulfstream G550's 2x Rolls-Royce BR710 A1-10 have one of the longest track records in business aviation. Maintenance program enrollment is standard for active charter aircraft like N3LL. Buyers should verify engine program status and remaining hours before acquisition, as enrollment directly affects resale value.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N3LL is a 2005 Citation held by TVPX ARS INC TRUSTEE. 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 N3LL based in NORTH SALT LAKE, UT. 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
N3LL 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
N3LL is a 2005 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
Optimized for corporate shuttle and air ambulance missions where reliability and operating costs matter more than speed. The Citation's straight wing design produces lower approach speeds and shorter landing distances than swept-wing jets, opening hundreds of regional airports that faster jets cannot access.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the straight-wing Citation for coast-to-coast routes. Published range of 1,500 to 2,000 nm requires a fuel stop on transcontinental legs. For nonstop LA to New York, step up to a CJ3 (2,040 nm) or Citation Sovereign (3,000 nm).
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
