N560TX

The airframe bearing registration N560TX is a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with manufacturer serial number 560-0382. Originally delivered by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), this specific airframe is currently owned by the corporate entity SAV AVIATION LLC, based in Jacksonville, TX, US. The airframe is registered in the US and was recorded with a market valuation of $2,200,000 at the time of the provided data. The aircraft’s change of ownership to SAV AVIATION LLC and its continued corporate registry reflect a typical owner/operator profile for Citation Ultras maintained for business and charter use.

This airframe is outfitted in a typical executive cabin configuration described for Ultras, offering a 7–9 place layout with a forward 2-place divan, mid-cabin club seating, and a belted aft lav seat reported on many Ultras, while the aircraft’s registration indicates an 11-place certified maximum seating capacity. The common OEM avionics fit for this model is Honeywell Primus 1000, though many Citation Ultras are later retrofitted with Garmin or Collins equipment; this airframe is recorded with the Primus 1000 as the common OEM configuration. Operationally, the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra configured as N560TX is optimized for short- to medium-range corporate missions up to its 1,960 nm ferry radius and high-speed cruise at 430 kts, typically operated from regional business airports out of its Jacksonville, Texas base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D powerplant support and the avionics retrofit paths commonly pursued to extend utility and resale value.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra fills a light-medium business jet niche with higher cruise speeds and altitudes (up to 45,000 ft) compared with earlier light jets, competing with contemporaries from Learjet and Beechjet/King Air turbofan conversions. Demand among buyers and charter operators favors well-maintained Ultras with updated avionics; hence, airframes like N560TX often undergo avionics retrofits to remain competitive. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model include JT15D-5D engine lifecycle costs and the increasing market preference for modern glass flight decks, factors that directly influence valuation around the reported $2,200,000 level.
