N336XL

This article describes airframe N336XL, a factory-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel completed in 2003 with serial number 560-5336. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the Dallas-based corporate entity COMPASSCO LLC (registered owner/operator located in Dallas, TX, US). FAA records for this registration indicate an executive configuration and note that the certificate allows up to 13 seats for this specific registration. Maintenance status, valuation history, and notable registry actions beyond current ownership are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is fitted in an executive cabin layout consistent with a typical 8–9 passenger configuration while the registration authorizes up to 13 seats; the FAA record explicitly shows the higher seating allowance. Cabin appointments for this model commonly emphasize executive transport missions such as regional business travel and on-demand charter, matching the aircraft’s long-range cruise performance of 428 kts and range of 1,847 nm. Avionics fit on this airframe is reported as the typical Honeywell Primus 1000, though later XLS/XLS+ variants and aftermarket refits sometimes substitute Collins Pro Line 21 or Honeywell P-1000 suites. Based in Dallas, TX, US under COMPASSCO LLC ownership, the aircraft is suited to domestic and continental missions where single-pilot or two-pilot executive operations are required; maintenance considerations follow standard PW545 engine and Citation Excel airframe programs.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and short-field performance relative to its range and ceiling of 45,000 ft. Equipped with PW545 powerplants producing 3,952 lbf each, the type competes with entry-level midsize jets for owner-operators and charter fleets seeking cost-effective regional speed and cabin size. Market considerations for this specific 2003 airframe include engine program status, avionics generation (noting the factory Honeywell Primus 1000 fit), and interior refurbishment when assessing maintenance and resale value.
