N557MR

The airframe bearing tail number N557MR is a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial number 560-0393, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and broker listings have documented features and options during recent marketing activity. Broker listings noted a belted lavatory and avionics upgrade options, and registry records reflect routine transactional listing rather than unusual ferry or import/export actions. Condition and valuation commentary has been provided in sale listings, but no formal market valuation is published in the supplied data.

The specific cabin layout for this airframe is an 8-passenger executive layout as reported in broker materials, typically described as seven executive seats plus a belted lavatory in listings. Avionics for the model are listed as Honeywell Primus 1000 (typical) with broker-noted options including Garmin GTN 750Xi, Garmin GTX 3000 ADS‑B, and Garmin GDL-88; these listings suggest this airframe has been presented with retrofit or optional avionics fits during marketing. Typical missions for this airframe class include short- to mid-range executive transport and air-taxi operations within a roughly 2,000 nm mission profile at high single‑engine turbofan cruise speeds, operating from corporate bases and charter operators in the United States. Maintenance considerations reflected in broker descriptions emphasize outfitting and avionics options rather than exceptional airframe damage history.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-cabin, mid-performance niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering higher cruise speed and service ceiling relative to earlier Citation variants. Its performance envelope—approximately 425 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling—competes with contemporaneous light business jets and older mid-size types, attracting buyers seeking efficient short- to mid‑range executive capability. Market and resale considerations for this specific airframe center on avionics upgrades and cabin configuration (notably the belted lavatory) as value drivers, while common maintenance themes for the type include aging JT15D series engine support and avionics modernization.
