N39RC

The airframe bearing tail number N39RC is a 1999-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with manufacturer's serial number 5605041, produced by the Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by RICH PLANE LLC, an LLC based in Gilberton, PA, US, which functions as the recorded operator and home base for the type. Registry data for this specific airframe confirms its US registration and corporate ownership; no public valuation or formal condition report is published in the supplied data. The airframe remains listed as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet in corporate registry records.

The airframe is typically outfitted with an executive cabin configuration described as the model 8–10 passenger executive cabin, while the type certification listing supports up to 13 seats, and the specific registration is documented with 13 seating capacity. Avionics fit on Excel/XLS models is typically Honeywell Primus-series, and this airframe is noted with Honeywell avionics as the standard fit for the model. Operationally, the aircraft’s 1,847 nm range and 429 kt cruise speed align it with short‑to‑medium sector corporate missions, point‑to‑point charters, and business travel originating from its operator base in Gilberton, Pennsylvania. Maintenance considerations follow standard Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engine workflows and Textron/Cessna scheduled airframe inspections typical for late‑1990s Citations.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light‑midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and runway performance attractive to owner‑operators and charter fleets. Competing models in its class generally offer similar transcontinental capabilities, and demand historically skews toward well‑maintained, avionics‑upgraded airframes; the presence of Honeywell Primus‑series avionics is a marketable trait. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 1999 airframe revolve around PW545 engine life‑limits, avionics retrofit history, and the completion records that influence operator confidence and residual value.
