N53LP

The airframe bearing tail number N53LP is a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, constructor serial 560-0375, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the Las Vegas–based corporation 4L AVIATION LLC, which appears on current registry records. The airframe’s ownership is recorded to a corporate operator in Las Vegas, NV, and the airworthiness and registry status typically reflect corporate use; there are no other published notable registry actions in the supplied data. Valuation records place this specific airframe at approximately $2,200,000, consistent with mid-life Citation Ultras with typical equipment and interiors.

This airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout described for the Citation Ultra era: a seven–eleven place cabin with a forward divan, mid-cabin club seating, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; specific configuration may vary by operator. Typical avionics for Ultra-era installations is the Honeywell Primus 1000, though individual aircraft may have been retrofitted. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range of 1,960 nm, the aircraft is suited to regional and transcontinental business missions from its operator base in Las Vegas, supporting point-to-point corporate travel and on-demand charter roles. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 1996 build year and corporate ownership structure, with equipment and interior condition affecting entry-into-service time and utilization.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche within the broader Citation family, offering elevated cruise and service ceiling performance for its class (notably 430 kts and 45,000 ft). Its two JT15D-5D engines provide the thrust characteristics common to Ultra-series operations. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N53LP is influenced by age, equipment such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, interior condition, and the approximately $2,200,000 market valuation; these factors also drive maintenance and resale considerations for prospective operators.
