N469DN

The airframe bearing tail number N469DN is a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, construction serial 560-0469, listed in U.S. civil registry and owned by the corporate entity AEROSAM EQUIPMENT LLC of Beaver, PA. The entry reflects a corporate ownership model based in the United States and a valuation reported at $2,000,000, suggesting a mature airframe with residual market value consistent with late-1990s light-cabin business jets. The registry records indicate standard, long-term corporate custody; ownership is recorded to AEROSAM EQUIPMENT LLC in Beaver, PA, with no additional publicly noted transfers in the supplied data.

The individual aircraft carries a typical executive cabin layout with a 7–8 passenger main cabin arranged around a forward refreshment/galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; registry listings note a total of 11 seats, reflecting certification or optional seating configurations. Avionics are consistent with Ultra-series fits, typically featuring Honeywell/Primus-style EFIS installations, with many airframes accepting retrofit options for modern glass upgrades — this airframe is identified with the common Ultra avionics fitment and potential for modernization. At a cruise of 430 kts and a range near 1,960 nm, the aircraft is suitable for mid‑to‑long sector executive missions, corporate shuttle duties, and on-demand charter operations from its Beaver, PA operator base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe type include turbofan lifecycle and avionics retrofit planning typical of late-1990s production examples.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light-cabin business jet niche emphasizing efficient short- to mid-range point-to-point travel, with a service ceiling to 45,000 ft and performance suited to corporate and charter operators. In the resale and operator market, Ultra airframes from the late 1990s often trade at values reflecting avionics state, maintenance history, and engine cycles; the reported $2,000,000 valuation aligns with an airframe where upgrades or overhauls may factor heavily into buyer demand. Given the commonality of Honeywell/Primus-style EFIS fits and widespread retrofit availability, prospective purchasers and operators typically evaluate modernization costs alongside engine life and interior refurbishments.
