Model & Market Context

This entry covers airframe N50LQ, a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0347. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by CU V LLC, a corporation based in Stuart, FL. It is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft and carries a published market value of $2,585,000. The airframe’s documented configuration and ownership indicate a corporate executive role with standard registry standing for U.S.-based operations.

The airframe is configured with an 8-place executive layout (corporate executive seating), reflecting a corporate transport mission profile focused on small-group executive travel. Typical operations for this airframe would align with regional to transcontinental point-to-point corporate missions within its 1,960 nm range at cruise speeds near 430 kts, operating from its U.S. registry and with an owner based in Stuart, Florida. Specific avionics fit and detailed interior amenities for this serial are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations would follow Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engine support programs and standard Citation Ultra airframe service practices given the 1996 build year.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra family, a light-cabin business jet designed to serve corporate and charter markets seeking higher cruise speed and pressurized-cabin comfort in short- to mid-range missions. Its performance—cruise near 430 kts and ceiling to 45,000 ft—positions it competitively against contemporaries in the light business-jet sector. Buyer and charter demand for a 1996 Citation Ultra typically weighs operational economics, engine support for the JT15D-5D powerplants, and the airframe’s interior condition; those factors directly influence resale considerations relative to the listed $2,585,000 valuation.
