N233XL

This entry covers airframe N233XL, a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel (serial 560-5233) manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by VANGUARD JET LLC, an LLC based in Georgetown, TX, US; current registry records list this single corporate owner and no public record of prior transfers is published. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $4,150,000, which reflects typical condition and equipment levels for late-model Excel-series airframes when equipped for executive transport.

The airframe is operated from its documented base in Georgetown, TX, US, under corporate ownership of VANGUARD JET LLC. The cabin for this model type is described as a typical executive layout commonly accommodating 8–13 passengers; the specific interior configuration for N233XL is not publicly published. Avionics fit for this airframe is listed as Honeywell Primus-series, consistent with the Honeywell avionics suites commonly installed in the Excel/XLS family, supporting modern flight management, navigation and autopilot capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this airframe and operator would include short-to-medium range corporate and charter flights within the continental United States, taking advantage of the Excel’s combination of cabin size and transcontinental range. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 program requirements and Excel-series airframe inspection cycles; no unique maintenance directives or anomalies specific to this registration are publicly documented.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the midsize light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance and efficient twin-engine cruise at 429 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models typically include similar-class turbofan business jets from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Embraer. Buyer and charter demand for well-equipped Excel airframes remains steady, with resale values influenced by avionics, engine program status and interior condition; N233XL’s reported valuation of $4,150,000 places it within expected market ranges for a 2002 Excel with standard systems and Honeywell avionics.
