Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N50EL, a Cessna 560 Citation V built in 1989 with serial number 5600036. The airframe is recorded in the US registry as US and is registered to SESA AVIATION LLC in Weslaco, TX where it operates from that owner/operator base. The airframe's ownership history as available shows current ownership by SESA AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Weslaco, TX, US); there are no additional historic registry actions published in the supplied data. Valuation and condition highlights from the listing indicate an estimated market value of $1,900,000.
The cabin for this airframe is configured in a 9-place executive layout with leather seating, a forward galley and an aft lavatory, supporting typical short- to mid-range corporate missions and executive transport. Avionics and mission equipment listed for the airframe include Dual Garmin G700 TXi, Dual GTN 750Xi, Garmin GWX-75 weather radar, GTX345R ADS‑B and a Honeywell SPZ-500 autopilot, providing contemporary navigation, traffic and weather capability for IFR operations. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range near 1,960 nm, this airframe is suited to point-to-point domestic and near-international routes from its Weslaco, TX operating base. Maintenance considerations for this individual jet align with typical light-citation twin requirements given its late-1980s build year and the Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5A engines, and any buyer or operator would factor age-related inspections and avionics support into service planning.
The Cessna 560 Citation V occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and service ceilings (here 45,000 ft) than earlier light-citation models while retaining efficient twin JT15D-series powerplants. Typical competitors in its performance and mission class include other late-model small cabin business jets that balance speed, range and operating costs. Buyer and charter demand for an airframe like N50EL is influenced by its avionics fit, nine-place executive cabin and the airframe’s documented value of $1,900,000, with resale considerations tied to engine cycles, maintenance history and avionics currency. Maintenance and marketability will reflect the aircraft’s 1989 build date and the lifecycle status of JT15D engines and Honeywell/SW Garmin avionics suites.
