N118RW

The airframe bearing tail number N118RW is a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial 560-0389, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the United States and listed to Citation N118rk LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, which serves as the documented owner and operator/home base affiliation. FAA and registry entries for this airframe note seating capacity allowances and document up to 11 seats, a point that has influenced its configuration and commercial utility. Valuation records for this specific airframe indicate an estimated market value of $2,200,000, reflecting its model year, equipment fit and operational status.

The cabin of N118RW is described as a typical executive club layout accommodating 7–8 passengers in a conventional executive arrangement, while FAA and registry entries list certification for up to 11 seats. This mix of cabin layouts allows the aircraft to serve both executive transport and higher-density passenger missions under its current registration. Operated from its owner’s Houston, TX location, typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range business hops consistent with the aircraft’s 1,960 nm range and high-speed cruise of 430 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines and the airframe’s vintage, with resale and operational valuation informed by logbook completeness and airworthiness records associated with the registered owner.

As a member of the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra subfamily, N118RW occupies a light-medium business jet niche characterized by transcontinental cruise capability and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Comparable aircraft in this performance bracket compete on speed, cabin flexibility and operating costs; buyer and charter demand for airframes like N118RW is sensitive to maintenance history and interior configuration. Resale considerations for this specific serial number and year hinge on engine cycles, refurbishment status of the typical executive cabin, and documented registry entries that permit higher seating capacity.
