N26QL

This entry covers airframe N26QL, a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0498. The aircraft is owned by ULTRA LEASING LLC, an LLC based in Fargo, ND, US, and is registered in the US registry. Committed to a leasing/operator role under ULTRA LEASING LLC, the airframe’s last-known market valuation is $1,890,708, reflecting its late-1990s build and life-cycle status as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet. Registry actions for this specific airframe are limited to its US registration and ownership record with the named Fargo-based LLC.

The airframe features a typical executive interior configured for 7–11 passenger executive seating with an enclosed aft lavatory and approximately 310 cu ft of cabin volume in executive layout, consistent with late-model Citation Ultra cabin arrangements. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are Not published for this tail, so operator-configured navigation, communication and mission avionics should be confirmed from maintenance logs or the current operator. Operating profiles for N26QL under its leasing owner are consistent with short- to medium-range business missions—regional point-to-point charters and corporate travel within the aircraft’s 1,960 nm range at cruise speeds near 430 kts—typically staged from its Fargo, North Dakota base. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engine support and Citation-series airframe inspections typical for 1998-built examples.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche offering transcontinental flexibility for regional operators seeking a blend of speed, range and operating economy. Competing models in its era included other light/midsize Citations and similar-class jets from manufacturers targeting executive and charter markets. Buyer and charter demand for a 1998 Citation Ultra often hinges on maintenance history, engine shop visit status for the JT15D-5D pair, and interior condition given the modest 310 cu ft cabin volume; resale and maintenance considerations are reflected in the reported valuation of $1,890,708.
