N543TA

This entry covers airframe N543TA, a 2003-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5331. The aircraft is registered to TRITON JETS LLC of Lexington, KY and appears in US civil aircraft records under that ownership; the registry also lists the airframe with a 13‑seat configuration. Valuation and condition highlights for this specific airframe reflect a market value of $2,500,000, with historical registry entries noting standard factory equipment and common aftermarket avionics upgrade activity among Excel airframes.

The cabin of N543TA is recorded as a typical one‑zone executive layout featuring a center‑club four‑place grouping, a forward divan and two aft seats; although configured in this executive arrangement it is commonly fitted for seven to nine passengers in service, while the registry reflects 13 seats. Avionics originally conform to Honeywell Primus‑class standard equipment, with note that many airframes in this model have received aftermarket upgrades—an operational consideration for avionics support and modernization. Typical missions suit short to mid‑range executive transport within the aircraft’s 1,847 nm range and high‑speed cruise of 429 kts, operating from the owner’s Lexington, KY base for charter or corporate movements. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include twin PW545 engine program support and standard Excel airframe servicing consistent with its build year of 2003.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family, a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet type powered by twin PW545 turbofans producing 4,119 lbf each. Performance characteristics such as the 429 kt cruise, 1,847 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling position this airframe for medium‑range executive missions. Market and resale considerations for N543TA are influenced by its 2003 manufacture date, documented Honeywell Primus‑class original avionics with common aftermarket upgrade paths, and the stated valuation of $2,500,000, which together inform buyer demand and maintenance planning for prospective operators.
