N458DA

This entry documents airframe N458DA, a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with manufacturer serial number 560-0458. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by SAO ENTERPRISES LLC, an Omaha, Nebraska–based limited liability company; this ownership represents the most recent publicly provided registry detail. The jet is a fixed-wing, multi-engine business aircraft completed in 1998 and maintained in active status per valuation records. The fleet valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $1,834,861, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position.

The cabin of N458DA is configured to accommodate 11 seats, consistent with light-citation class executive transport roles; specific interior layout and finish details are not published in the supplied data. Avionics fit and interior amenity specifics for this individual airframe are not published, though the aircraft’s performance parameters support point-to-point business and charter missions. Based in Omaha, Nebraska under SAO ENTERPRISES LLC, the aircraft’s typical mission profile is inferred from its 1,960 nm range and 430 kt cruise speed, enabling regional to transcontinental hops within North America. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect standard practices for late-1990s Citation Ultras operating under corporate ownership and US registry.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-medium business jet niche among Cessna’s Citation family, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin capacity relative to smaller light jets while retaining lower operating costs than larger midsize types. With twin Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D powerplants producing 3,045 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model targets operators seeking efficient regional transport with transcontinental range capability. Market demand and resale considerations for a 1998 airframe such as 560-0458 are influenced by total time, maintenance history, and interior condition; the listed market value of $1,834,861 serves as an indicator of its position in the pre-owned Citation Ultra market.
