N115TL

This entry documents airframe N115TL, a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel (part of the Citation XLS family) bearing serial number 560-5250 and registered in the US. The airframe is owned by SYCO AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Friendswood, TX, which serves as the operator/home base for this example in current civil registry records. FAA records note a published passenger capacity of 13 seats, a registry action that contrasts with the typical executive interior fit; the listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $3,500,000. Maintenance status and condition highlights are those typically associated with airframes of this vintage and valuation tier as reflected in the recorded data.

The cabin of N115TL is configured in a typical executive 7–9 passenger layout with club seating and a belted lavatory, while FAA-recorded paperwork lists a capacity of 13 seats, reflecting maximum certification rather than usual interior use. Avionics equipment noted for this airframe aligns with Honeywell integrated systems typical to Excel/XLS examples, specifically the Honeywell Primus 1000-series installation recorded for this model. Operationally, the airplane’s performance figures—cruise of 423 kts, range of 1,847 nm, and service ceiling of 45,000 ft—support its use in owner-flown, corporate, or charter missions consistent with executive transport roles; the owner’s Friendswood, TX location indicates Gulf Coast basing for such missions. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow from the twin PW545 engines and airframe age, with market valuation of $3,500,000 serving as a reference point for upkeep and resale expectations.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel line produced by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), representing a mid-size business turbofan family in civil aviation. With twin PW545-series powerplants, the model’s documented cruise, range, and altitude capability position it within a performance niche focused on short- to medium-range executive transport. Buyer and charter demand dynamics for this type of airframe are reflected in its recorded valuation and typical executive cabin fit, while maintenance and resale considerations hinge on engine type, avionics fit (Honeywell Primus 1000-series), and the airframe’s 2002 build year.
