N101WY

This airframe, registered as N101WY, is a 2002-built Cessna Citation Encore (560), serial number 560-0620, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by the WYOMING DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, a government operator based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and is registered in the United States. Its operator/home base is Cheyenne, WY, US, and available records indicate government ownership rather than a commercial charter operator. Notable registry actions include its U.S. registration under the Wyoming DOT and continued government service; specific valuation and condition reports are not published in the supplied data.

The Citation Encore airframe configured as N101WY seats up to 11 occupants in a light business jet layout typical of the model; detailed cabin configuration, fittings and specific avionics equipment for this aircraft are not published in the provided data. Operated by the Wyoming Department of Transportation from its Cheyenne base, the aircraft is suited to regional and state-level missions such as executive transport, inspection flights, and multi-leg routing across the Intermountain West given its 1,960 nm range and 430 kts cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for a government-operated Encore often emphasize reliability and availability for departmental duties; unique amenities or modifications specific to this airframe are not documented in the supplied dataset.

The Cessna Citation Encore (560) occupies the light-to-medium business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering climb performance to a 45,000 ft ceiling and transregional range near 1,960 nm. Powered by twin PW535A engines producing 3,400 lbf each, the type competes with similar light jets in its class for owner-operator and government uses, balancing runway performance and operating costs. For buyers and fleet managers, maintenance history, avionics modernization, and airframe hours are primary resale factors; for this specific airframe, continued government ownership suggests a usage profile oriented to public-service reliability rather than commercial charter turnover.
