N560KS

This airframe, registered as N560KS, is a 2001-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5151. The airframe is owned by ALVA ACQUISITIONS LLC, an Arkansas-registered limited liability company based in Arkadelphia, AR, US, which is the listed operator/home base in public records. The aircraft’s registry history shows the 2001 build and subsequent civilian US registration; the transfer into ALVA ACQUISITIONS LLC is the principal recorded ownership event for this hull. Recent valuation and status information list the airframe at an estimated market value of $4,083,773, reflecting its age, configuration and typical Excel market factors.

The aircraft is commonly configured in an executive cabin layout seating typically 8–9 passengers with 2 crew, although registry and seat-configuration records for this specific airframe note belted seating variations listing up to 13 seats. Avionics are commonly reported as the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, a frequent Excel fit that supports standard business-jet navigation and flight management tasks for regional and transcontinental missions. Typical use for this airframe would include corporate transport, charter point-to-point missions and owner-flown executive hops within the aircraft’s 1,847 nm range and high-speed cruise capability. Maintenance considerations follow the Citation Excel fleet practice for PW545A engines and Honeywell avionics, with operator-based programs frequently used to manage component life-limits and avionics updates.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering mid-range transcontinental capability, a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Its principal competitors include similarly sized business jets that prioritize cabin comfort and runway performance. Market demand for 2001-model Excels centers on cost-conscious buyers and charter operators seeking a proven platform; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine cycles, avionics configuration like the Primus 1000 and the condition reflected in the current valuation.
