N102WY

The airframe bearing tail number N102WY is a Cessna 560 Citation Encore built in 2002 with serial number 560-0621. It is owned by the government agency Wyoming Department of Transportation, based in Cheyenne, WY, US; operated and registered in the United States under that government ownership. Registry history beyond current government ownership is not published in the supplied data. Current estimated market valuation for this specific airframe is $3,000,000, reflecting its model, age, and equipment baseline.

This airframe is configured with a two-crew flight deck and a typical executive cabin layout accommodating 7–9 passengers within the total 11 seating capacity, including a forward galley and an aft lavatory in the common configuration. The avionics fit is the factory-standard Honeywell Primus 1000, noting that many airframes of this type have been upgraded over time; specific avionics upgrades for this serial are not published in the supplied data. Operated from Cheyenne, WY, the aircraft’s performance—cruise speed of 414 kts and range of 1,760 nm—supports regional and medium-range government transport, inspection flights, and executive missions typical of a state transportation department. Maintenance considerations follow those for twin-engine turbofan business jets with a service ceiling to 45,000 ft and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A engines.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies a light-cabin, mid-performance niche among business jets, providing higher cruise speed and range than older Citation variants while remaining competitive on operating cost against similar light-to-midsize cabin twins. With twin PW535A engines producing 3,400 lbf each, the Encore balances runway performance and cruise efficiency useful for government mission profiles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 2002 build year, factory avionics baseline (Honeywell Primus 1000), and a market valuation of $3,000,000, factors commonly weighed by buyers and charter operators.
