N303HC

This article covers airframe N303HC, a 1998-built Cessna Citation Ultra (Model 560) with serial number 560-0460. The airframe is registered to KIRK OLD AIR LLC, a corporation based in Chesapeake, VA, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the type. The airframe’s configuration, avionics upgrades and ADS‑B Out equipage are reflected in its contemporary registry entries, and the example carries an estimated market value of $2,000,000. Notable documentation highlights the airframe’s continued corporate operation and executive interior configuration.

The cabin of N303HC is finished in an executive eight‑passenger layout with a forward refreshment/galley, mid‑cabin club seating, aft two forward‑facing seats and a belted lav seat, supporting corporate and charter missions that prioritize short‑to‑mid‑range business travel. The airframe is equipped with a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS suite augmented by dual Garmin GTN‑750 units (installed under JETTECH STC), Honeywell Mark VII EGPWS, Honeywell CAS‑67A TCAS‑II, Honeywell Primus 660 weather radar, dual Honeywell communications and DME, and ADS‑B Out for modern airspace compliance. Typical mission profiles for this fitted combination, given the 1,960 nm range and 430 kt cruise, include transcontinental and regional shuttle flights from the Chesapeake, VA area. Engine commonality and the legacy avionics package inform routine maintenance scheduling and parts planning for corporate operators.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna Citation Ultra (Model 560) family, which occupies a light corporate jet niche defined by modest operating costs, transcontinental range potential and an executive cabin seating up to 11. With two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D‑5D engines delivering 3,045 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type matches operators seeking higher‑speed regional hops and access to higher‑altitude flight levels. The combination of an executive interior, the installed avionics suite and documented ADS‑B Out equipage supports continued charter or corporate utility, while the listed valuation of $2,000,000 frames resale and lifecycle considerations for prospective buyers and maintenance planners.
