This article covers airframe N562DD, a business jet built in 2000 identified by manufacturer serial number 560-5108. The aircraft is a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. It is registered to ZOE AVIATION INC, a corporate owner located in Euless, TX, US, representing the current documented ownership and operator/home base linkage. The airframe carries an estimated market value of $3,950,000, a figure often used in registry summaries and asset valuation reports.

The cabin of this Cessna 560XL Citation Excel airframe is configured to accommodate 13 seats, consistent with its role as a light-medium corporate transport suited to charter or corporate shuttle missions. Operated from Euless, TX, US under corporate ownership by ZOE AVIATION INC, its mission profile typically centers on regional and transcontinental hops within the aircraft’s 1,839 nm range and cruise speed of 422 kts. Avionics and interior specifics are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations focus on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 powerplants each rated at 3,952 lbf, which drive scheduled engine and APU cycles as prescribed by manufacturer and regulatory guidance. The aircraft’s service ceiling of 45,000 ft supports efficient flight levels for business operations and favorable enroute performance.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a niche between light and midsize business jets, offering a balance of cabin capacity and runway performance for owner-operators and charter companies. With twin PW545 engines and a cruise speed of 422 kts, the type competes with contemporaries in the Citation Excel/Excel XLS segment and other light-midsize jets in terms of operating economics and mission flexibility. Buyer and charter demand for examples like N562DD is influenced by overall condition, engine cycle status, and avionics fit—factors that also affect resale value relative to the stated estimate of $3,950,000. Maintenance and resale considerations emphasize engine lifecycle, interior refurbishment status, and adherence to inspection programs typical for airframes built in 2000.
