N126LW

This airframe, N126LW, is a 2001-built Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) with serial number 560-5210. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by TAILWINDS LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US; ownership is held by the named LLC rather than an individual operator. Notable registry actions are limited in the data set; the aircraft carries a market valuation of $3,300,000 and reflects a mature mid-life airframe typical for a 2001 model Citation Excel.

The cabin configuration for this airframe follows the Citation Excel family pattern with a typical 7–9 executive seating arrangement or conversion to up to 13 standard seating, and the model family commonly features an 18.5 ft cabin length. Avionics for Excel/XLS family aircraft commonly use the Collins Pro Line family (with Pro Line 21 on many XLS/XLS+ installations); the exact avionics fitment for N126LW is not publicly listed in the provided data. Operated out of Houston under TAILWINDS LLC, mission profiles for this airframe would commonly include short- to mid-range executive transport and corporate shuttles leveraging the aircraft’s cruise speed and range for point-to-point regional and transcontinental segments. Maintenance considerations reflect typical mid-life inspections and component life limits for PW545-powered Citation Excels.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) occupies a light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability within a compact cabin length and efficient twin-PW545 performance. Competing models occupy similar mission roles and include other light-medium cabin jets; buyer and charter demand tends toward well-maintained, appropriately equipped examples with proven avionics and interior refurbishments. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2001 airframe include engine and APU time/cycle tracking, structural and interior condition, and avionics standardization—factors that influence the stated valuation of $3,300,000.
