N150BL

This entry covers airframe N150BL, a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel built in 2001 with serial number 560-5143. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by RCA AIR LLC, an LLC based in Conway, AR, US. Valued at approximately $2,400,010, the airframe reflects an early-2000s Citation Excel example retained in a broker/charter configuration and operated from its owner’s base in Conway. Maintenance and operational records specific to this registration are not published here beyond owner and valuation data.

Airframe N150BL typically carries a broker/charter-fit executive cabin described as a typical 8–9-place interior while remaining certified for up to 13 seats depending on operator configuration and regulatory approvals. The installation on this early 560XL airframe is reported with a Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite, a common fit for early production 560XLs; some later XLS variants moved to upgraded glass suites. With a cruise speed near 433 kts and a ferry/endurance capability of about 1,839 nm, the aircraft suits regional and trans-regional charter missions from its Conway, Arkansas base, operating at or near its listed service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations align with twin PW545-series turbine oversight and typical Part 135/91 operator cycles for broker/charter use.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche for operators seeking a balance of cabin comfort and regional range; this example from 2001 reflects the pragmatic performance profile of the type with PW545 powerplants. Competing aircraft in the market are similarly configured light-cabin jets, and demand for broker/charter-configured Excels remains tied to proven reliability, avionics vintage (here, Honeywell Primus 1000), and lifecycle maintenance history. Valuation near $2.4M drives buyer interest toward examples with documented maintenance and flexible seating certificates, while resale considerations focus on avionics upgrades and engine/airframe hours typical of early-2000s airframes.
