N220VP

This entry covers airframe N220VP, a 2004-built Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) bearing serial number 560-5359. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by CJSMHC 1 LLC, an LLC based in Encinitas, CA, US; ownership is recorded to that single-entity owner in public registry entries. The airframe is a mid‑series 560XL built by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and equipped from new with the typical Excel configuration. No notable registry actions or major ownership transfers beyond the listed LLC are published.

The cabin on this airframe is fitted in the typical executive arrangement for the Excel family, with a nominal 7–9 place executive layout installed though the registry allows up to 13 seats in operator-configurable layouts; this provides flexibility between corporate shuttle, charter, or higher-density transport configurations. Avionics fit follows the common Excel installation and is listed as Honeywell Primus (typical Excel fit), supporting modern flight-management and navigation capabilities for corporate operations. Based on the owner’s location in Encinitas, CA, US, typical operations for the aircraft would include West Coast corporate missions, short transcontinental hops and regional charter work within the aircraft’s 1,657 nm range and high-speed cruise capability. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engine programs and Honeywell avionics support; operator-configurable seating and certification considerations affect inspections and interior maintenance cycles specific to this airframe.

The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) occupies the light-medium corporate jet niche, offering a blend of cabin size, cruise speed and operating economics suitable for owner-operators and charter operators. With a cruise of 423 kts and a ceiling of 45,000 ft, the 560XL competes with light-medium jets from other OEMs that target similar mission profiles and runway performance. Buyer demand typically emphasizes cabin flexibility (noted here by the registry allowance up to 13 seats), overall dispatch reliability tied to the PW545A engines, and the availability of Honeywell Primus avionics common to the type; these factors also influence resale and maintenance marketplace considerations for this specific 2004 airframe.
