N53PE

This entry concerns airframe N53PE, a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra bearing serial number 560-0464. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by 3CAP AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Scottsdale, AZ, US, which serves as its operator and home base. The airframe’s documented configuration and airworthiness reflect its late-1990s Citation Ultra specification, with routine operator-managed maintenance and registry continuity under the current LLC ownership. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond its current LLC registration.

The Citation Ultra airframe N53PE is arranged to accommodate up to 11 seats, supporting short to medium-haul business and charter missions within its 1,960 nm range and typical high-speed cruise of 430 knots. Operating from its base in Scottsdale, AZ, the aircraft is well suited to regional transcontinental sectors and point-to-point executive transport at flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Cabin specifics such as interior finish, galley fit or avionics suite for this particular serial are not published in the provided data; operational considerations therefore emphasize mission planning around its certified seating and performance envelope and routine maintenance driven by its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines.

As a member of the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra family, N53PE embodies the platform’s late-1990s balance of turbofan power and light-cabin capacity, delivering cruise speeds near 430 knots and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. The twin JT15D-5D engines producing 3,045 lbf each define its performance and fuel/maintenance profile, and its 1,960 nm range positions it for domestic and nearby international missions from its Scottsdale base. For owners and operators, considerations tied to this airframe focus on lifecycle maintenance of the JT15D series and matching interior/cabin configuration to the eleven-passenger mission profile.
