N1867M

This entry covers airframe N1867M, a 2003-built Cessna Citation Excel registered as 560-5303 in the United States. The airframe is recorded as owned by MERICOS AVIATION, a corporation based in South Pasadena, CA, US, and has been operated from that location as its principal base according to registry data. The aircraft carries a U.S. registration and typical registry records indicate operational certification consistent with business charter and corporate transport use. Valuation records list the airframe value at $2,400,000, reflecting market factors for a 2003 Citation Excel in continued service.

The cabin in this airframe is configured in a typical executive center-club layout commonly accommodating 8–10 passengers, with registry entries indicating up to 13 seats in some configurations; this allows flexibility between full executive comfort and higher-density corporate transport. Avionics fit is consistent with the Excel series, typically a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting modern IFR operations and integrated flight management for medium-range missions. Typical mission profiles for N1867M include domestic corporate hops, regional point-to-point charters and transcontinental sectors within its 1,847 nm range, operating from its South Pasadena base. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engine programs and airframe inspections customary for early-2000s Citation Excels in active service.

The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin room, runway performance and single-stage transcontinental capability. Competing models historically include other midsize light-to-medium business jets that emphasize cabin comfort and short-field capability. Buyer and charter demand for the Excel family has centered on operators seeking a roomy cabin with efficient operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for N1867M reflect age, engine program status and installed avionics such as the Typical Honeywell Primus 1000 fit. The listed value of $2,400,000 positions this airframe within the secondary market pricing expectations for a 2003 Excel with documented ownership and U.S. registration.
