N560BD

This airframe, registered as N560BD, is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5257, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The FAA registry shows the current owner/operator as registered to DM PETROLEUM LLC, an LLC based in Sherman, TX, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. The airframe is listed in the public registry with a reported seating capacity of 13 and an estimated market value of $3,500,000. No additional public records of previous owners or unusual registry actions are published beyond the current ownership and standard US registration.

The airframe is typically configured with an executive cabin; manufacturer literature for Excel-era installations lists common owner/operator layouts of 7–9 passengers, while the FAA registry specifically records 13 seats for this aircraft, indicating a higher-density certified seating arrangement on the registry versus common executive fit-outs. Avionics are reported generically as Honeywell Primus-series for Excel-era Citation Excels, though the specific installation for this serial is not listed in public registry data. Typical mission profiles for this airframe model include short- to medium-range corporate and charter flights within the aircraft’s approximately 1,847 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 429 kts, operating from the owner base in Sherman, TX for regional business transport and charter operations. Maintenance considerations follow standard Citation Excel programs for mid-2000s airframes and are influenced by engine type, avionics fit, and interior configuration.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin size, range, and runway performance compared to smaller light jets and larger midsize types. Competing models in its era include other light-to-midsize turbofan corporate jets that target owner/operators and charter operators needing transregional capability. Market demand and resale value for a 2002 Excel like N560BD are influenced by total time, maintenance history, interior configuration (executive vs. high-density seating), and avionics retrofit status; the listed valuation of $3,500,000 reflects these typical considerations for an early-2000s airframe with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines and Honeywell Primus-series-era systems.
