N4ZL

The airframe bearing registration N4ZL is a 1997-built Cessna 560 Citation V, serial number 560-0448, currently registered in the United States. The listed owner is FLYING 5 LLCF (an LLC) of Johnson City, TN, US, and broker material and registry entries indicate the aircraft has been operated from that home base in recent listings. Broker pages describe upgraded avionics and a high-density executive interior, and the airframe is presented in brokerage data with an estimated market value of $1,900,000. Registry records show a certified passenger capacity of 11, consistent with operator postings despite some broker listings reporting a higher, variable seating configuration.

This specific Citation V is offered in brokerage descriptions with a high-density executive layout: forward and center club seating with an aft divan/berth arrangement, and multiple listings have cited up to 11–16 places although the registry capacity is 11. The airframe is reported to carry an upgraded avionics fit including Honeywell Primus Elite Advanced (DU-885) displays, NZ-2000 FMS (v6.1) with SBAS/LPV, CPDLC / FANS‑1A, ADS‑B v2, TCAS 2000 and EGPWS, supporting modern IFR and oceanic communications and approach capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 1,644 nm range and 425 kt cruise, would be short to mid-range corporate trips and charter sectors from its Johnson City base to regional hubs. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft center on age-related component service and life-limited items for a 1997 airframe, along with certification and logbook verification for the installed avionics upgrades.

The Cessna 560 Citation V occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche, offering trans-regional capability, respectable cruise speeds and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in its class include later Citation variants and light-medium jets from manufacturers such as Beechcraft and Learjet; the JT15D-5D engines and avionics package on this airframe influence operating economics and dispatch reliability. Buyer and charter demand for older Citation V airframes is sensitive to maintenance history, avionics modernization and interior condition—factors reflected in this aircraft’s marketed value of $1,900,000 and the noted broker-described upgrades.
