N560FF

This entry covers airframe N560FF, a Cessna 560 Citation Ultra built in 1998 with serial number 560-0477. The aircraft is owned by Parrott Air LLC (an LLC based in Florence, SC) and is registered in the US; it appears in civilian registry records under that ownership and base. Notable registry actions include its continued US registration and documented change of ownership to Parrott Air LLC; valuation records list the airframe at $2,585,000, indicating a maintained but depreciated mid-life business jet. Condition highlights reflect an airframe typical of late-1990s Citation Ultras with remaining useful operational capability for charter or corporate use.

The cabin configuration on this airframe accommodates 11 seats, consistent with Citation Ultra layouts optimized for small group corporate transport or on-demand charter. Typical mission profiles for the aircraft include mid-range transcontinental hops within its 1,960 nm range and high-speed cruise at approximately 430 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Florence, SC. Avionics and interior fit for this specific airframe are not published beyond model norms, but maintenance considerations for the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines and aging airframe systems are relevant when evaluating dispatch reliability and interior refurbishment needs. The aircraft’s service ceiling of 45,000 ft supports efficient routing above commercial traffic for time-sensitive missions.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light business jet niche prized for efficient short-to-medium range performance, relatively low operating costs, and simple twin-engine maintenance compared with larger-cabin types. Competitors in the era and market include other light jets offering similar speed and range; buyer demand typically targets corporate operators and fractional or on-demand charter fleets. For this specific airframe, the listed value of $2,585,000 and its 1998 build year suggest typical resale and maintenance considerations for late-1990s Citations, including potential avionics upgrades, interior refurbishment costs, and adherence to established engine overhaul intervals for the JT15D-5D powerplants.
