Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N560ZS is a 1994-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial number 560-0281, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the US and is owned by Special Services Corporation, a corporation based in Greenville, SC, US. The airframe's public record shows no additional published registry actions beyond its current ownership and US registration. Valuation and condition reports for this specific airframe are not published.
This airframe is configured in an executive cabin layout with typical seating for 7–11 passengers, and the common Ultra-series configuration for executive missions is a 7-passenger executive arrangement. Avionics for Ultra-series examples of this model typically feature a Honeywell Primus-style integrated flight deck, which is cited for this airframe as the expected fit. Operated from its owner’s base in Greenville, SC, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range business and executive transport missions within its 1,524 nm range and cruise speed of 374 kts. Specific unique amenities or maintenance records for this individual aircraft are not published.
The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light business jet niche, offering trans-regional capability with relatively high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines, the model competes with contemporary light jets in terms of range and cabin flexibility, appealing to corporate owners and charter operators seeking executive layouts for 7–11 passengers. Buyer and charter demand generally reflects the model’s balance of cruise performance and operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations often focus on engine time, avionics upgrades (such as Honeywell Primus-style retrofits), and overall airframe cycles, though specific assessments for N560ZS are not published.
