The airframe is outfitted in an executive 8-passenger cabin configuration featuring a forward side-facing two-place couch, six mid-cabin seats, a removable side-facing seat and an aft belted lavatory, reflecting a layout optimized for corporate transport and short to mid‑range missions. Avionics installed on this airframe include dual Honeywell Primus 1000 IFCS, Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, Honeywell TCAS II, and dual UNS-1Csp FMS, supporting contemporary navigation, traffic, and flight management capabilities for its class.

As a member of the Citation Excel family, this Cessna 560XL Citation Excel airframe presents the combination of transcontinental‑adjacent range, high mid‑cruise speed, and a high‑altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft, suited to corporate and charter markets seeking a mid‑size executive cabin for up to 8 passengers. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines and the installed Honeywell avionics suite frame typical maintenance and avionics upgrade considerations that influence resale value and operator demand. The listed market value of $3,900,000 positions this individual airframe within the used mid‑size business jet segment where condition, maintenance history, and avionics package drive buyer and charter interest.
