N228PG

The airframe bearing registration N228PG is a 1995-built Cessna Citation Ultra (560), serial number 560-0310, manufactured by Cessna. The registry records the aircraft as owned by BANC TENN CORP under a Co-Ownership structure based in Johnson City, TN, US, and it is listed on the U.S. civil register. The aircraft's documented configuration lists 11 seats, a higher-count registry entry than the common executive layouts for the type. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published for this specific airframe in the supplied data.

This airframe is typically fitted with a standard executive interior for the model, where a 7–8 passenger executive interior is common, though the registry for this specific aircraft lists 11 seats, indicating a higher-density cabin or provision for supplemental seating. The Citation Ultra family is commonly employed on short- to medium-haul corporate and charter missions; with a cruise of 430 kts and a range of 1,960 nm, this airframe is suited for regional point-to-point executive travel. The twin JT15D-5D engines provide the thrust rating documented and are compatible with standard maintenance practices for light-corporate jets of its era. Based at Johnson City, TN per the owner record, operational considerations for this aircraft would follow typical part-out, avionics upgrade, and inspection cycles for mid-1990s Citations.

The Cessna Citation Ultra (560) occupies the light-corporate jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and service ceilings compared with earlier Citation variants. Its performance envelope—430 kts cruise and a 45,000 ft ceiling—positions it against contemporaries from other manufacturers in the light jet category. Buyer and charter demand for specific airframes typically depends on interior configuration, avionics fit, maintenance history, and engine cycles; the presence of Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines and an unusual 11-seat registry entry are notable factors for resale or charter operators evaluating this particular aircraft. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 1995 airframe include potential avionics modernization and attention to engine and airframe life-limited components.
