N561SR

This article describes airframe N561SR, a Cessna 560 Citation V built by Cessna (Textron Aviation) in 1991 with serial number 560-0138. The airframe has been registered in the US and is recorded as owned by Chrysler Aviation Inc, a corporate owner based in Van Nuys, CA, US. The aircraft's documented configuration and equipment reflect Citation V/Ultra-era fittings typical of late-production Citation Vs and their aftermarket updates. No public records of additional owners or extraordinary registry actions are provided in the supplied data.

The cabin of this Cessna 560 Citation V is described in the executive layout commonly used by Citation V/Ultra operators, typically featuring 7–8 place club seating with an enclosed lavatory and a refreshment center; the full seating capacity is 11 when including belted area seating. Avionics fit for this airframe follows the Honeywell / Primus-series installations, with Primus 1000 / Primus R-style suites typical of Citation Ultra/Encore variants, supporting typical corporate transport avionics functionality. Typical missions for the airframe include short- to mid-range corporate transport within the aircraft's 1,960 nm range and high-speed cruise near 430 kts, operating from its base in Van Nuys, CA, US under corporate management. Maintenance considerations align with the twin JT15D-5 turbofan powerplants and avionics common to late-model Citation V derivatives.

The Cessna 560 Citation V occupies the light corporate jet niche characterized by transcontinental regional capability, high single-pilot utility, and an operational ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in the segment include other late 1980s–1990s light jets that balance range near 2,000 nm and cruise speeds around 430 kts, making the Citation V a popular choice for owner-operators and charter operators seeking a mix of speed, altitude capability, and an executive cabin. Market and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on JT15D-5 engine support, avionics commonality with Primus-series upgrades, and the resale demand for well-maintained Citation Vs in corporate fleets.
