N496JH

This entry covers airframe N496JH, a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation V Ultra with serial number 560-0496. The airframe is recorded as owned by Cloudscape Inc. (a corporation based in Georgetown, TX, US) and is U.S.-registered. The aircraft’s interior was reported refurbished in 2022, a condition highlight that complements its executive configuration; avionics fit has been reported as Honeywell Primus 1000. Registration and ownership are listed to Cloudscape Inc. with no other ownership timeline published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is outfitted in an executive layout with a reported 7–8 passenger club seating arrangement and an aft lavatory and refreshment center; the interior refurbishment reported in 2022 likely addressed cabin finishes and passenger amenities. Avionics are reported as a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, appropriate for typical light-medium business jet operations and instrument procedures; specific avionics upgrades or supplemental certifications were not detailed. Typical missions for this airframe would include owner-operated or corporate point-to-point transportation within its 1,960 nm range and high-speed cruise of about 430 kts, operating from regional and business jet-capable airports with ceilings up to 45,000 ft. Based in Georgetown, Texas, operator movements would commonly serve domestic U.S. city pairs and short international hops within range.

The Cessna 560 Citation V Ultra occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental-increment range and efficient twin-engine performance driven by JT15D-5D powerplants. Competing models in its era include other Citation variants and light jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and Hawker, where buyers balance cabin comfort, operating costs, and runway performance. For this specific airframe, the 2022 interior refurbishment and Honeywell Primus 1000 fit improve appeal on resale or charter markets, while maintenance considerations center on typical age-related inspections for a 1998 airframe and lifecycle management of JT15D engines.
