The airframe bearing tail number N398RS is a 1998-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5009, registered in the United States. The airframe is recorded as owned by JPQ1 LLC (a corporate owner), with no published public operator or home base listed in available registry details. No additional notable registry actions or changes of operator are published for this specific airframe; the recorded owner and corporate registration are the primary documented highlights. The aircraft is listed with an indicative private-market value of $2,500,000, reflecting its vintage, configuration and typical model market standing.

N398RS is equipped in a configuration typical for the Citation Excel family, featuring a seven-to-nine passenger executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and an aft lavatory common to the model; a specific seat map for this airframe has not been published. Avionics are consistent with the model’s typical fit, generally carrying the Honeywell Primus series / Honeywell Primus 1000 suite as a common installation for the type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short- to medium-haul corporate and charter operations within the aircraft’s design range of approximately 1,657 nm and cruise speeds near 422 kts, operating up to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations align with multi-engine business jets powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines and corporate ownership structures.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium cabin business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and short-field performance for regional corporate flights. Competing models include other light-to-midsize business jets offering similar range and speed; demand in the used market is influenced by age, avionics fit (e.g., Honeywell Primus), and engine maintenance histories for PW545A-equipped airframes. Resale and operational cost considerations for this airframe reflect its 1998 build year, current corporate ownership, and an estimated market value of $2,500,000.
