N561JS

This entry covers the airframe bearing tail number N561JS, a 1997-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0413, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to ENHANCEMENT OF ILLINOIS INC, a corporation based in Cerrillos, New Mexico, which serves as the listed owner and operator/home base. There are no additional public registry actions published here; the airframe is described with an estimated market valuation and typical long-term condition profile for its model year. Reported valuation for this specific airframe is $2,200,000, reflecting its vintage, configuration and systems fit.

The airframe is configured for two flight crew and an executive cabin layout typically accommodating 7–11 passengers in club and forward-divan seating, with an aft belted lavatory seat and an enclosed lavatory standard to this type. Avionics are reported as typical Ultra-era suites, with Honeywell Primus 1000 or Primus-style installations commonly noted on similarly outfitted Ultrafitted airframes. With a maximum range of 1,960 nm and cruise of 430 kts, missions for this airframe generally include regional to transcontinental business travel, point-to-point corporate operations, and on-demand charter where runway performance and efficiency for short to mid-length sectors are priorities. Maintenance considerations follow standard mid-size light business jet practices for Pratt & Whitney JT15D-series engines and avionics life-cycle upgrades.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-to-mid size business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, altitude capability and cabin flexibility highlighted by its 45,000 ft ceiling and seating for up to 11. In the resale and charter market, buyers and operators value well-maintained Ultrafitted airframes for economical operating costs and runways-access advantages; however, age-related avionics refreshes and engine-cycle economics factor into valuation—here reflected in the $2,200,000 estimate for this 1997 airframe. Routine maintenance, parts availability for JT15D engines, and avionics upgrade paths are typical considerations for prospective purchasers or operators of this model.
