N564TJ

The airframe bearing tail number N564TJ is a 1997-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0432, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and is listed as owned by BRANCH AIRCRAFT LEASING INC, a corporate owner based in Ocala, FL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this example. Registry records and valuation assessments indicate a market value of $2,300,000 for this specific airframe, reflecting its age, configuration and typical avionics fit. The aircraft is categorized as fixed-wing multi-engine and retains the standard equipment and layout expected of Citation Ultra examples.

This specific Citation Ultra is configured with a typical executive cabin accommodating a nominal 7–9 passenger layout, including a forward divan, mid-cabin club seating and a belted aft lavatory seat, while the aircraft's certificated seating capacity is 11. Avionics fit for examples of this model commonly feature the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, which this airframe is noted to carry as a typical installation. Operationally the airframe is suitable for short to medium-range corporate missions and charter work from its Ocala, Florida base, offering transcontinental capability within its 1,960 nm range and high-speed cruise of 430 kts. Routine maintenance considerations follow the Citation Ultra’s twin JT15D turbofan support network and corporate lessor maintenance cycles.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes—up to 45,000 ft—than earlier Citation variants. It competes with contemporaries in the late-1990s light business jet market and remains in demand among corporate lessors and owner-operators seeking a balance of efficiency and cabin utility. For this 1997 airframe, resale and operational value reflect airframe hours, avionics configuration such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, and engine shop visit status; the assessed value of $2,300,000 aligns with typical market expectations for similarly equipped Citation Ultra examples.
