Model & Market Context

This airframe, bearing tail number N520AJ, is a 1997-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0437. The aircraft is owned by ACTION JET AVIATION LLC, a limited liability company based in Woodland Hills, California, and is registered in the United States. The FAA registration records note an 11-place cabin layout, and the airframe’s configuration and operational details reflect the common mid-size light business jet role of the Citation Ultra family. Registration and ownership are recorded to ACTION JET AVIATION LLC in Woodland Hills, CA, with no additional changes or notable registry actions provided in the supplied data.

The FAA registration lists an 11-place seating cabin for this airframe, indicating a typical executive interior arrangement suited to small-group corporate transport or on-demand charter missions. Specifics on avionics fit and detailed interior amenities for this serial are not published in the provided data, so equipment fitment and cabin finishing levels are undocumented here. With a transcontinental-ish range and a cruise near 430 kts, this aircraft is normally deployed on short to medium-haul corporate missions, regional point-to-point charters, and owner-operator travel out of its Woodland Hills, California base. Maintenance considerations align with mid-1990s airframe timelines and the twin JT15D-5D engine type, with typical attention paid to lifecycle events, inspections and component tracking for continued Part 135 or private operations.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light to mid-size business jet niche, offering a balance of cruise speed, range and cabin seating for up to 11 occupants as exemplified by this airframe. Competing models in the era and category include offerings from Learjet and older Gulfstream light jets, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating economics, dispatch reliability and cabin utility. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1997-built Citation Ultra such as N520AJ typically center on engine life limits, avionics upgrades to meet contemporary airspace mandates, and documented maintenance history as key determinants of marketability.
