N560PD

The airframe bearing registration N560PD is a 2003-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5311. The aircraft is owned by the corporate entity ACS AIR INVESTORS LLC, registered in Wilmington, DE, US; the registration record also lists a 13-seat configuration. Valuation and condition highlights identify the airframe at an estimated market value of $2,500,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical mid-2000s Citation Excel maintenance state. Notable registry information centers on its continuous U.S. registration under corporate ownership rather than individual or operator registration.

The cabin of N560PD is an executive mid-cabin layout typically outfitted in a 7–9 passenger executive club arrangement with a forward refreshment center and an aft lavatory, while the registration record lists 13 seats, indicating flexibility between passenger and executive configurations. Avionics fit is consistent with the 560XL family standard Honeywell Primus-series integrated suites, with comparable airframes reporting Primus 1000 or Primus II options. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short to mid-range business travel within the continental U.S., leveraging a cruise of 429 kts and a range of 1,847 nm; operator base activity is centered on corporate use from its Wilmington, DE registration. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin PW545 engines and the mid‑2000s airframe vintage, with corporate ownership implying scheduled maintenance programs and records retention.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family occupies a light-cabin, medium-range niche, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin comfort compared with older entry-level business jets while competing against light-medium jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Dassault light variants. For a 2003 airframe like 560-5311, buyer and charter demand is influenced by engine time, avionics fit, and interior configuration; the presence of Honeywell Primus-series avionics and twin PW545s supports continued operational relevance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model emphasize engine program enrollment, avionics upgrades and interior refurbishment to maintain marketability at the quoted value of $2,500,000.
