N384SH

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N384SH, a 2003-build Cessna belonging to the Citation Excel line. The airframe was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company under serial number 560-5309 and is owned by Silverhawk Aviation Inc. of Lincoln, NE, US, which is the operator and home base recorded for the aircraft. The type is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and carries an estimated current market valuation of $2,400,000. No additional public registry actions or transfers are recorded here beyond the listed ownership and registration.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a typical nine-place executive club layout with a forward galley, mid-cabin club seating, and an aft lavatory with adjacent baggage/closet, reflecting a configuration optimized for short to mid-range corporate missions. Avionics are fitted with a Honeywell Primus-series suite consistent with typical Excel/XLS installations, supporting the aircraft’s operational profile and common single-pilot or two-pilot procedures. With a cruise speed of 429 kts and an operational range of 1,839 nm, the aircraft is suited to regional point-to-point missions and business travel patterns from its base in Lincoln, NE, US. Maintenance considerations follow those typical of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A-equipped Citation Excels, with the airframe’s age (2003) and accumulated maintenance history being relevant to owner-operated or charter-use schedules.

The airframe is a member of the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family, a category positioned for light-medium business jet missions combining runway performance and transcontinental capability within its class. Competing models occupy similar mission niches where cruise speeds around 429 kts and ceilings to 45,000 ft are common selling points. Demand from buyers and charter operators for well-equipped Excel airframes tends to reflect avionics fit and interior configuration; the Honeywell Primus-series and the nine-place executive layout on N384SH are aligned with typical corporate expectations. Resale and maintenance valuations are influenced by serial-specific condition, systems such as the PW545A engines, and the recorded certification and ownership history held by Silverhawk Aviation Inc.
