N560AD

This entry covers the airframe registered as N560AD, a 2002-built airliner-class business jet with serial number 560-5239. The airframe was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) as a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel and is owned by Air Direct LLC, an LLC based in Powderly, TX, US. Current registry lists the aircraft in the United States; no public record of prior owners or notable registry actions is included in the supplied data. Condition and formal valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.

N560AD’s seating for 13 positions it for short to medium-haul corporate or charter missions operating out of Powderly, Texas, and other U.S. bases. With a maximum cruise of 429 kts and a range of 1,847 nm, typical missions include regional point-to-point business travel and light charter operations linking city pairs within the continental United States. The cabin layout would be configured to accommodate up to thirteen occupants in a corporate/commercial general aviation arrangement; specific avionics fit, interior finishes, and unique amenities for this airframe are not published in the supplied data. Routine maintenance considerations follow the PW545 engine program and the Citation Excel series structural and avionics maintenance schedules.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet segment, offering a balance of cabin size, single-pilot operation potential, and airport performance. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engines producing 3,952 lbf each and certified to a 45,000 ft ceiling, the type competes with models such as the Learjet 60XR and the Hawker 400/800 series in missions emphasizing short-field access and efficient regional cruise. For operators and buyers, considerations include engine maintenance lifecycle for the PW545 series, avionics retrofit potential on early-2000s airframes, and resale demand tied to hours, damage history, and overall maintenance records; specific market pricing for this serial is not provided in the supplied data.
