N562TS

This entry describes the airframe bearing tail number N562TS, a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel built in 2001 with manufacturer's serial number 560-5178. The aircraft is owned by the corporation CRICKET CREEK LLC, located in Nixa, MO, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to CRICKET CREEK LLC as the operator and home-base corporate owner, the airframe presents as an in-service example of the 2001 Excel/Primus-equipped cohort; specific valuation and condition details are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this airframe is certified for 13 seats but is commonly fitted in a 7–9 place executive layout featuring a forward club, mid single seats, and an aft belted lavatory in typical installations. Avionics are of the Honeywell Primus family, consistent with many 2001 Excel airframes and specifically noted as the typical fit for the 2001 Excel/Primus 1000 family on many airframes. Operationally, the aircraft’s cruise speed of 423 kts and range of 1,839 nm support medium-range corporate missions and charter legs; the twin PW545 powerplants provide the thrust rating and performance envelope consistent with the aircraft’s certified ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on the PW545-series engines and the Honeywell Primus avionics suite as principal systems requiring periodic, model-specific support.

The airframe is an example of the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family, represented here by serial 560-5178 and built in 2001, combining the listed cruise, range, and ceiling performance figures to occupy a performance niche defined by its passenger capacity and medium-range endurance. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engines and Honeywell Primus avionics characterize key maintenance and avionics refurbishment considerations that influence buyer and operator decisions. Given the certified 13-seat capacity with common executive refits to 7–9 places, resale and charter-market positioning for this airframe will be influenced by interior configuration, avionics standardization, and engine time/status as recorded under the current CRICKET CREEK LLC ownership.
