N4TL

The airframe bearing tail number N4TL is a 2001-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore, serial number 560-0587, recorded on the U.S. registry and operated under corporate ownership. Registered to Morningstar Aviation II Inc., a corporation based in Wilmington, Delaware, US, the aircraft appears in FAA records with a corporate operator profile rather than an individual owner. The airframe's documentation lists typical Encore equipment and has a market valuation recorded at $3,200,000, reflecting its model year and configuration. As a U.S.-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet, its registration and valuation entries are the principal notable registry actions on file.

This airframe is configured in a typical seven–eight passenger executive club layout, with FAA-recorded seating up to 11, an enclosed aft lavatory and a mid-cabin refreshment center noted in its cabin description. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 1000 in typical Encore equip/upgrade form, supporting the aircraft’s role in short- to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter operations. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range of 1,760 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and regional international flights to nearby countries. Corporate operation from a Wilmington, DE home base implies use for executive transport, positioning flights, and ad hoc charter missions; maintenance considerations align with the Encore’s two PW535A engines and common Encore avionics upgrades.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft compared with older Citation variants. Competing models in its era include offerings from Dassault Falcon light jets and Learjet derivatives, with buyer demand driven by a balance of performance, operating cost, and cabin utility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2001 vintage, the PW535A engine maintenance track record, and the presence of Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics, all factors that influence operating economics and marketability.
