Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N142AA is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5281. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by Cessna Finance Corporation since manufacture. The entry reflects a factory-era ownership structure typical for manufacturer-financed airframes, and no subsequent operator change is published in the supplied data. Registry details and listed configuration indicate the airframe is maintained in an executive layout and is representative of Excel-series Citation aircraft in active business aviation service.
The cabin of N142AA is configured in a typical 5–7 place executive club layout with a forward refreshment/galley and an aft lavatory; some listings for this specific airframe specify a six-passenger configuration. Avionics fit follows the Excel-series norm with Honeywell RE/Primus-class instrumentation, commonly a Honeywell RE-100/Primus 1000 family installation for this model. The combination of its cruise speed and range positions the aircraft for regional and transcontinental business missions within the stated fuel and payload trade-offs, operating from primary business hubs under its U.S. registration. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin-engine turbofan practices and the installed avionics and powerplants specified for the Excel-series.
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family occupies a mid-size business jet niche defined by moderate transcontinental range, efficient short-field performance, and executive cabin layouts. With the specified Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines and Honeywell avionics fit, aircraft like N142AA appeal to corporate flight departments and fractional/charter operators seeking a balance of speed and operating economics. Market considerations for this airframe type typically emphasize engine maintenance cycles, avionics upgrades, and interior refurbishment when assessing resale or continued charter use, reflecting the common upgrade paths for Excel-series airframes.
