Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N29QA, is a 2002-built example of the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5277. The aircraft is listed in the U.S. registry and is owned by WAR HORSE AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Whitsett, Texas, which appears as the current registered owner. The airframe’s documented history centers on that ownership and its U.S. registration; no other operators or previous registries are recorded in the supplied data. Condition and valuation figures are not published in the provided dataset.

This specific Cessna 560XL Citation Excel airframe, N29QA, is configured to accommodate up to 13 occupants, reflecting the model’s typical light-cabin layout optimized for short- to mid-range business transport. With a published cruise of 429 kts and a maximum range of 2,080 nm, the aircraft is suited to regional and transcontinental point-to-point missions within the continental United States from its Whitsett, TX base. Operator responsibilities for this airframe will focus on routine twin-engine turbine maintenance cycles appropriate to the PW545A powerplants and the model’s airframe hours, along with standard interior upkeep to maintain the 13-seat cabin; specific avionics fit and cabin amenities are not provided in the supplied data.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel sits in the light-to-midsize business jet segment, offering a balance of speed, range and cabin capacity as exemplified by N29QA’s performance figures. Competing models typically emphasize similar mission flexibility for charter or owner-operator roles; buyer interest often targets airframes with documented maintenance and clear ownership histories. For this airframe, the presence of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines and a high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft are salient resale and maintenance considerations for prospective owners and operators.
