N1UM

This airframe, registered as N1UM, is a Cessna 560 Citation Encore completed in 2000 with serial 560-0543. It is owned by UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI, a government entity based in University, MS, US, and is registered for operation in the US. The airframe is typically used in an institutional/executive configuration and carries an estimated market value of $3,400,000; registration and institutional ownership reflect its use in team and recruiting transport rather than commercial charter revenue service.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in an institutional/executive layout, typically accommodating 7–11 seats for team and recruiting transport missions while the registered seating capacity is 11. Avionics aboard are representative of the Honeywell Primus family commonly fitted to Encore/Encore+ examples, though specific fitment can vary by airframe. Routine operations for this type of operator include medium-range point-to-point travel within the continental United States and occasional longer legs enabled by the 1,760 nm range and a cruise speed near 414 kts. Maintenance considerations for an institutional operator include engine support for the PW535A powerplants and adherence to manufacturer and Honeywell avionics service directives; the airframe’s private government ownership typically prioritizes mission availability over resale-driven refurbishments.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche with higher cruise speeds and ceilings approaching 45,000 ft, offering a balance of short-field capability and transcontinental range for its class. Competing types in the market segment include upgraded light-cabin business jets that offer similar mission profiles; buyer demand for well-equipped, university- or government-owned Encore airframes is often driven by operational reliability and interior mission fit rather than pure luxury. Resale value and maintenance timelines for a 2000 Encore serial 560-0543 reflect ongoing support considerations for the PW535A engines and avionics upgrade potential within the Honeywell Primus family.
