This airframe, registered as N53ST, is a 2002-build Cessna 560 Citation Encore with serial number 560-0624. The aircraft is owned by BLUE LINK LLC, an LLC based in Bay City, WI, US, and is U.S.-registered. The airframe’s registry records indicate it operates under the ownership of BLUE LINK LLC (an ownership/registration event of note for this specific tail), and current market valuation is listed at $3,553,090, reflecting its condition and age at the time of valuation.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore airframe configured as N53ST provides an eleven-seat cabin layout suitable for corporate transport, charter operations, or owner-flown business missions consistent with its size and range. Typical mission profiles enabled by its 1,695 nm range and 372 kt cruise speed include medium-haul point-to-point flights and regional transcontinental sectors within the U.S. Its operational ceiling of 45,000 ft supports flight levels commonly used for efficient cruise and traffic deconfliction on business routes. Based at the owner’s location in Bay City, WI, US, maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe would follow Encore-series procedures for the PW535A engines and airframe systems; registration and ownership under BLUE LINK LLC mark the most recent notable administrative actions tied to this specific aircraft.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light to mid-size business jet niche within the Citation family, offering increased performance over earlier Citation I/II derivatives by virtue of the PW535A engines and aerodynamic refinements. Competing models typically include other light cabin jets that balance speed, range, and operating costs for corporate and charter customers. For prospective buyers or operators of N53ST, typical market considerations include age-related avionics and interior refurbishment, engine-time management for the PW535A powerplants, and resale valuation dynamics reflected in the listed $3,553,090 estimate.
