N561CC

This entry covers the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra airframe registered as N561CC, built in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 560-0416. The airframe is recorded as owned by AIR LAND LEASING LLC of Madera, CA, US, with a US registration and a contemporary market valuation of $2,200,000. The record indicates a typical leasing ownership model rather than an active airline operator; no other ownership transfers are published in the provided data. Registry entries note its configuration and valuation status as of the latest available filing.

The airframe is outfitted with a typical executive interior described as a 7-place club seating layout for passengers, while the official registry shows an 11-seat configuration and provision for 2 flight crew; this indicates a flexible role between executive transport and higher-density charter or corporate shuttle duties. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, consistent with common Ultra variant fits and supporting FAA-compliant IFR operations and modern navigation/flight management capabilities. With a cruise of 374 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental business trips and regional charter sectors up to its 1,960 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with mid-life heavy components common to late-1990s Citation Ultras, with particular attention to engine program status for the JT15D-5D powerplants.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise and ceiling performance than entry-level light jets while remaining more economical than midsize types. In the secondary market, aircraft like N561CC—built in 1997 and operated by a leasing company—appeal to buyers seeking immediate revenue operation or cost-effective corporate replacement aircraft. Competing models in its era and market segment include older Learjet variants and early-generation Falcon or Hawker light jets. Resale and maintenance considerations focus on avionics modernization (despite the existing Honeywell Primus 1000 fit), remaining engine life and overhaul history for the JT15D-5D units, and cabin reconfiguration if a purchaser desires a full executive 7-place arrangement versus the registered 11-seat layout.
