N469MR

The airframe bearing tail number N469MR is a 2000-build Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel / XLS+) with serial number 560-5125. It is registered in the United States and currently owned by TAILWINDS LLC, an LLC based in Houston, Texas. The aircraft has a conventional executive ownership and operation profile typical of business jets of its vintage, with FAA registration listing a maximum of 13 seats despite common executive interiors being fitted for fewer passengers. No major public registry actions or incidents are recorded in the supplied data.

This airframe typically features an executive club layout configured for 8–9 passengers in common corporate fit-outs, while the FAA registration for this specific airframe lists 13 seats, indicating certification for higher seating capacity or flexible interior arrangements. The installed avionics suite is Honeywell-based, consistent with Honeywell Primus series or similar Honeywell flight deck options commonly fitted to the model. Typical missions include medium-range business and charter operations within the contiguous United States and to nearby international points, leveraging a cruise speed of 429 knots and a range of 1,847 nautical miles. As a 2000 model, maintenance considerations would align with age-related inspections, component life-limited parts and avionics upgrade potential for continued operation to contemporary standards.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel / XLS+) occupies a mid-size business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for corporate operators and charter fleets while balancing cabin comfort and operating costs. Competing models in similar role and era include light-to-midsize business jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream derivatives; buyers and charter operators often seek airframes with Honeywell avionics and Pratt & Whitney Canada engine types for commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2000-built airframe like 560-5125 typically focus on refurbishment of cabin appointments, avionics modernization, and adherence to PW545 engine maintenance intervals to preserve value.
