N4KS

The airframe bearing tail number N4KS is a 1999-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5035, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is recorded as owned by OA AIR LLC, an LLC based in Lincoln, Nebraska, US, and carries US registration. Maintenance and operational records for this specific airframe indicate the common factory fit and systems for the Excel family, with registry entries reflecting ongoing civilian private/operator status. The airframe’s documented configuration and equipment make it representative of late-1990s Excel-series Citation Excels in private and charter use.

This airframe typically presents a standard executive interior for the Excel family: a forward refreshment area and a club seating arrangement configured for seven to nine passengers, although certification records list up to 13 seats. Avionics fit for the airframe is noted as Honeywell-series avionics, the common factory installation for Citation Excel models, supporting standard business-aviation navigation, communication and flight-management tasks. Operated from Lincoln, Nebraska under the ownership of OA AIR LLC, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-haul business missions and charter work within its approximate 1,850 nm range and high cruise speed profile. Maintenance considerations follow typical PW545 engine support and Excel-series airframe programs.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering combinations of cabin comfort, runway performance and cost efficiency relative to larger midsize types. With two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 turbofans producing 3,952 lbf each and a cruise near 422 kts, the model competes with contemporaries from manufacturers such as Learjet and Hawker in charter and owner-operator markets. Buyer and reseller interest in late-1990s Excels typically weighs avionics upgrades, interior refurbishment and engine program status when assessing maintenance and resale value.
