Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N555WL, is a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0488. The airframe is recorded as owned by GOLF AIR INC, a corporate owner based in Bloomfield Hills, MI, US, which serves as the aircraft's primary operator and home base for routine operations. No notable registry actions or liens are published for this registration, and valuation or specific condition reports are not published in the supplied data. Maintenance and ownership histories beyond the current corporate registration have not been provided.
The airframe carries an 11-seat certification, though executive interior fits commonly reduce passenger seating to a 6–8 passenger executive layout; specific interior configuration for N555WL is not published. Typical missions for this airframe type and configuration include medium-range corporate transport and on-demand charter flights within the continental United States, exploiting its near-2,000 nm range and high single-engine-reliability twin configuration. Avionics fit for this specific serial is not provided, so standard Citation Ultra equipage and optional upgrades should be assumed when planning operations or maintenance. As a corporate-registered jet based in Bloomfield Hills, MI, scheduling will commonly reflect Midwest point-to-point missions and seasonal repositioning to major business hubs.
The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra sits in the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of runway performance, cabin capacity, and climb/ceiling capability to 45,000 ft. Competing models in its era include late-model light jets equipped with similar turbofan powerplants; buyers and charter operators value the Citation line for reliability and relatively low operating complexity. For this specific airframe, considerations for maintenance and resale hinge on engine cycles of the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D units and any aftermarket avionics or interior refurbishments, none of which are detailed in the provided data.
