Model & Market Context
This airframe, registration N153PM, is a 2003-built Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) with serial number 560-5323. The FAA record lists current ownership as owned by CECO AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Midland, TX, US, which serves as the documented operator/home base for the aircraft. The airframe’s maximum seating is recorded as 13 in federal registry entries, while typical operator reports and common configurations for Excels indicate an executive cabin arranged for fewer passengers. The airframe is valued at $3,500,000, reflecting market positioning for early-2000s 560XL airframes in serviceable condition.
The subject airframe typically operates with a reported executive layout for Excels: a Typical 8-passenger executive layout (club seating) is commonly installed, although the FAA record for this specific airframe lists the maximum seating as 13. Avionics fit for this aircraft aligns with a Honeywell suite, most commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000 / Honeywell suite as a typical Excel installation. With a cruise of 422 kts and range near 1,839 nm, the aircraft is well suited to domestic business missions and regional charter flights from its Midland, Texas base. Maintenance and configuration considerations for this airframe will follow Textron/Cessna and Pratt & Whitney service protocols for the 560XL and PW545 series powerplants.
The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) family occupies a mid-size, light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, short-field performance, and efficient twin-engine cruise at altitudes up to 45,000 ft. Competitors typically include similar midsize jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream entry-level models; buyer and charter demand for early-2000s Excels centers on proven reliability and cabin utility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical aging-aircraft factors: engine-hours and overhaul status for the PW545 series, avionics configuration such as the Honeywell Primus 1000 fit, and any interior refurbishment relative to the reported executive layout.
