N554TS

This entry covers airframe N554TS, a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with manufacturer's serial number 560-0376. The airframe is registered in the United States (US) and appears on public records under the corporate owner S & S SEEDS INC, located in Carpinteria, CA, US. The airframe's configuration and operational history are typical of mid-1990s Citation Ultras used in corporate transport and charter roles; registration and ownership are listed to the corporate entity rather than an individual. Valuation estimates for this specific airframe have been indicated at $2,200,000, reflecting condition and market factors for late-model Citation Ultras.

Cabin layout specifics for this airframe are not published in the supplied data; the seating capacity is listed as 11, which typically supports a standard corporate executive interior or a high-density commuter arrangement. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists for N554TS are not published in the provided dataset. Typical mission profiles aligned with the listed performance—range of 1,960 nm and cruise of 430 kts—include regional to transcontinental executive transport and time-sensitive freight or personnel movements. The registered corporate owner S & S SEEDS INC suggests primary operation from a California base, with maintenance considerations following Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D engine program requirements and Citation Ultra airframe service schedules.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light to lower midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability within its range and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competitive models in this segment historically include light jets from manufacturers offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand is sensitive to age, avionics retrofits, and engine program status. Resale considerations for a 1996 airframe such as 560-0376 center on the cost of avionics upgrades, remaining life-limited components, and adherence to Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D maintenance schedules, all factors implicit in the stated valuation of $2,200,000.
