N560AW

This entry covers airframe N560AW, a 2003-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5351, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by AURORA VENTURES LLC, a corporate owner based in Saint Paul, MN, US, which appears in the current registry as the listed operator/home base. The airframe’s factory fit and series designation are consistent with its build year and serial sequence, and its listed market valuation is $4,350,000, reflecting typical condition and equipment levels for similar production-year Citation Excel airframes. No other registry actions are published beyond the current corporate ownership and US registration.

The specific cabin of N560AW is configured to accommodate 13 seats, consistent with the Citation Excel family interior arrangements for mixed passenger and light-cargo missions; detailed passenger seating layout and finish are not published. The airframe was delivered with a factory Honeywell-based avionics suite and retains Honeywell-based systems as its avionics fit description notes that many airframes in this model also have retrofit options. Typical missions for this airframe, given its 1,847 nm range and 422 kts cruise capability, include short- to mid-range business charters, corporate transport, and regional repositioning flights from its operator base in Saint Paul. Maintenance considerations align with twin PW545-series engine support and common Honeywell avionics service pathways for this series.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel configuration of N560AW places it within a family known for combined runway performance and regional range as reflected by its 45,000 ft ceiling and cruise speeds near 422 kts. Market interest in airframes of this vintage hinges on engine program status, avionics fit (factory Honeywell suites versus retrofits), and overall hours/condition; the recorded valuation of $4,350,000 is indicative of buyer and charter demand for well-maintained examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are driven by availability of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 support and common retrofit paths for Honeywell avionics.
