N523YA

The airframe bearing registration N523YA is a 1995-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, constructor serial 560-0291, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The specific ownership timeline, operator and home base details are not published in the supplied data; likewise, there are no supplied entries for notable registry actions or sales transactions. Condition highlights and valuation history for this airframe are not published in the provided material. The aircraft is registered in the United States and retains the factory configuration typical of Ultra-series examples.

The cabin of this airframe is arranged in a typical seven-place executive club layout with an enclosed aft lavatory and a refreshment center; this configuration supports executive transport missions and small group charters. Avionics aboard examples of the Ultra series are typically fitted with the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS suite, which in this specific aircraft is the expected standard equipment though no individual avionics log is provided. With the stated cruise speed of 430 knots and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 feet, the airframe is well suited to medium‑range, high‑speed corporate missions within its 1,960 nm ferry/range capability. Routine maintenance considerations for this model include twin JT15D-5D engine support and standard Citation Ultra service items; individual maintenance status for N523YA is not published.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and an extended service ceiling compared with earlier Citation variants. Competing models in its era included late-generation light business jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and Gulfstream’s small-cabin types, with the Ultra valued for a balance of runway performance, range, and operating economy. Buyer and charter demand typically centers on owners needing transcontinental capability without larger midsize operating costs; maintenance and resale considerations emphasize JT15D engine support and avionics upgrades, with Honeywell Primus 1000-equipped airframes like N523YA often targeted for avionics modernization in the used market.
