Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N555KT, is a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with manufacturer serial number 560-0368. The airframe is owned by KILO TANGO LLC, an Alabama-based limited liability company located in Birmingham, AL, US, and operates on a United States registration. Registered to KILO TANGO LLC, the aircraft’s public record shows ownership by a single LLC; no additional operator or lease history is published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided data set.

The cabin for the Ultra family is configured in a typical executive layout supporting 7–11 passenger executive seating with a forward galley/refreshment area and an optional belted lavatory; the specific cabin plan for N555KT is not published. Avionics fit on Ultra variants typically uses Honeywell Primus 1000 or Primus-style integrated avionics, which support standard corporate IFR operations and advanced flight-management capabilities for the model series. With a long-range capability of 1,960 nm and a cruise speed near 430 kts, missions for this airframe are commonly medium-range business transport and emblematic light-cabin corporate ferry flights out of its Birmingham, Alabama base. Maintenance considerations follow the Ultra variant’s twin JT15D-5 engine commonality and type-specific avionics support requirements.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-cabin business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, balancing economical operating costs with performance—cruise speeds near 430 kts and service ceilings to 45,000 ft. Typical competitors in its era include other light-medium business jets offering similar payload-range tradeoffs. Buyer and charter demand historically center on owner-operators and small charter operators seeking efficient short- to medium-haul executive transport; resale and maintenance considerations reflect the age of a 1996 airframe and supportability of JT15D-5 engines and Primus-era avionics.
