N520BP

This entry documents airframe N520BP, a factory-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra completed in 1989 with manufacturer's serial number 560-0031. The airframe is recorded on the U.S. registry and is owned by the corporation TOY AIR INC, based in Southfield, MI, US; the airframe is held in corporate hands rather than by an individual owner. The airframe's documented valuation is $1,070,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Operational basing and operator activities are tied to the listed Southfield, Michigan location, with no alternate operators published.

The cabin of this Cessna 560 Citation Ultra airframe is configured for up to 11 seats, supporting short- to mid-range corporate and charter missions consistent with its 1,960 nm range and high-speed cruise of 430 kts. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include regional business travel and repositioning flights from its home base near Southfield, Michigan. Avionics fit and specific interior appointments for this serial are not published, but the Citation Ultra family commonly carries a light corporate interior and avionics suites suited to single-pilot or two-pilot operation; maintenance considerations reflect the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5A engines and the requirements of aging airframes. The airframe's corporate ownership suggests private business use rather than airline or fractional operation.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient, high-altitude routing. Competing models in this vintage performance bracket include late-1980s light business jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and older Dassault Falcon variants. Buyer and charter demand for a 1989 airframe depends heavily on maintenance history, avionics updates, and interior refurbishment; resale considerations for N520BP center on its documented asset value of $1,070,000, engine time and overhaul status, and compliance with contemporary avionics and regulatory expectations.
