N12LD

The airframe bearing registration N12LD is a 1999-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0527. The airframe is owned by SOUTH GEORGIA MOTOR SPORTS LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States; its current registration and ownership are recorded under U.S. registry databases. No earlier ownership transfers are published in the supplied data, and the aircraft is valued at $2,000,000, reflecting its configuration and calendar age. The airframe retains its original series designation and typical equipment fit consistent with Ultras of this production period.

This airframe is configured with a typical two‑crew plus seven–eight passenger executive layout, offering flexible club seating or a four‑place club arrangement with a forward refreshment center, allowing operator reconfiguration for business or short group charters. The installed avionics package for the Ultra series on this airframe is the Honeywell Primus 1000, a suite common to Citation Ultras of this vintage and supportive of single‑pilot or two‑pilot IFR operations. With a cruise speed of 419 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is suited to medium‑range executive missions; the published range of 1,547 nm frames typical nonstop city‑pair routings in regional and domestic U.S. service. Based on owner location in Wilmington, Delaware, typical operations would include Northeast corridor and mid‑Atlantic point‑to‑point charters, with maintenance focused on JT15D‑5D turbine support and avionics upkeep consistent with the Primus 1000 suite.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light‑to‑midsize business jet niche within the Citation family, offering higher cruise speeds and ceilings relative to earlier Citation models while retaining efficient runway and field performance. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D‑5D engines producing 3,045 lbf each, the Ultra balances climb and cruise capability against operating costs common to late‑1990s designs. Market demand for Citation Ultras tends to be steady among owner‑operators and charter operators seeking compact cabin versatility and transcontinental range up to 1,547 nm; resale and maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s 1999 vintage, systems commonality with other Citation variants, and the continued availability of support for the Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite.
