N31CV

The airframe bearing registration N31CV is a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, constructor serial number 560-0351, produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is currently owned by N31CV LLC, a corporate owner based in Thompsons, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe presents as a typical mid‑1990s Ultra with a reported market valuation of $2,200,000, and its documented configuration and avionics suggest a maintained executive specification for charter or corporate use. No public record of other ownership changes or notable registry actions is provided in the supplied data.

The cabin of N31CV follows a typical executive installation for the Citation Ultra family, described as a 7–11 passenger layout with a forward divan, mid-cabin club seating and a belted aft lavatory seat, supporting both corporate transport and on-demand charter missions. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000, a common retrofit/standard fit on many Ultras, providing contemporary flight management and navigation capabilities for the airframe's era. With a cruise speed of 420 kts and a range near 1,960 nm, typical operations for this airframe would include medium‑range point‑to‑point executive flights and regional charter sectors based from its operator location in Thompsons, TX. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft will follow Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D engine support patterns and Honeywell avionics lifecycle plans typical of 1990s business jets.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light to lower‑mid business jet niche, offering moderate transcontinental capability for its class with a ceiling to 45,000 ft and cruise near 420 kts. Competing models in its era include variants of the Learjet 31/35 and the Beechjet 400 series, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating costs, interior condition, and avionics upgrades such as the Honeywell Primus 1000 retrofit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1996 Ultra focus on engine hours and inspections for the JT15D-5D engines, avionics modernization status, and cabin refurbishment, all factors that influence the reported market value of $2,200,000.
