This airframe, registered as N525RD, is a 1991 production example of the Cessna 560 Citation V with manufacturer serial number 560-0106. The aircraft is owned by Phillips Plastic Corporation, a corporation based in the Phillips / Hudson area, WI, US, and is registered in the US.

The Cessna 560 Citation V airframe configured as N525RD typically supports short- to mid-range corporate missions consistent with an 11-seat executive layout, enabling regional hops and transcontinental positioning flights within its 1,960 nm range. Cabin layout for this model generally emphasizes a compact executive interior allowing up to 11 occupants in mixed club-and-single seating; specific fit for this airframe is managed by the owner-operator and reflects corporate transport priorities. Avionics fit are not published in the supplied data, though aircraft of this model and vintage commonly operate with IFR-capable suites suitable for cruise at 430 kts and operations to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe center on twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5A turbine engines and typical Citation-series airframe inspections under corporate flight departments.

The Cessna 560 Citation V occupies a light-medium business jet niche, valued for efficient short- to medium-range performance and relatively straightforward maintenance compared with larger-cabin types. Competing models historically include light-cabin business jets offering similar cruise speeds and mission ranges. For owners like Phillips Plastic Corporation, the Citation V’s blend of seating for up to 11, a cruise near 430 kts and a 45,000 ft ceiling supports on-demand corporate travel, while market considerations include avionics modernisation and engine lifecycle for resale or continued corporate operation.
