Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N12AM is a 2007-build Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial 560-5676. It is owned by Texas A&M University System, a government entity based in College Station, TX, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s public valuation is listed at $3,500,000, reflecting its status as a mid-2000s light mid-size business jet; registration and ownership are recorded to the Texas A&M University System. No other prior ownership timeline is published for this specific airframe in the supplied data.
The cabin of this Cessna 560XL Citation Excel is configured to accommodate 13 seats, supporting institutional transport, short off-site missions, and multi-passenger travel consistent with government and university use. With a published range of 1,847 nm and a cruise speed of 422 kts, the airframe is suited for regional to transregional flights without en-route refueling for most domestic missions from its base in College Station, TX, US. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this airframe are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations are focused on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B engines and the aircraft’s mid-2000s build year, which are typical factors in service scheduling and cost planning. Institutional operation by the Texas A&M University System implies organized maintenance oversight and mission scheduling consistent with government ownership.
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light mid-size business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin capacity and transregional capability exemplified by this airframe’s 13-seat layout, 1,847 nm range, and 422 kts cruise. Competing models in the same segment typically include similarly sized cabin light-medium jets; buyers and institutional operators often weigh lifecycle maintenance of components such as the PW545B engines and airframe age—this example’s 2007 build year and $3,500,000 valuation are relevant to resale and operational budgeting decisions.
