N566VR

The airframe bearing tail number N566VR is a Cessna 560 Citation Ultra built in 1998, serial number 560-0480. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by R & C Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Vancouver, Washington, US. Its known registry reflects civilian executive operation under that ownership; no other operators or major incidents are published in the supplied data. Valuation notes place this specific airframe at approximately $2,000,000, reflecting age, configuration, and typical market condition for late-1990s Citation Ultras.

This airframe is typically outfitted in a conventional executive cabin arranged for a 7–8 passenger executive layout with club seating, featuring a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory consistent with Citation Ultra interiors. Avionics fit for this airframe is noted as the Honeywell Primus 1000, either as original equipment or a common retrofit, supporting standard small-jet flight operations and single-crew or two-crew dispatch depending on operator procedures. Typical mission profiles for N566VR would include regional executive transport and charter hops within the aircraft’s 1,960 nm range, operating from its base in the Pacific Northwest; maintenance and dispatch considerations follow typical TF33-series light-jet practices for Pratt & Whitney JT15D-powered Cessna business jets.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light-cabin business jet niche characterized by economical operating costs and runway performance suited to smaller airports. Competing models in its vintage class include early Learjet 60 variants and the Hawker 800 series for buyers prioritizing speed versus operating economy. Given the aircraft’s 1998 build year, buyer demand tends to favor well-documented maintenance, avionics updates such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, and interior refurbishment; these factors materially influence resale value and charter appeal for a listed price near $2,000,000. Maintenance cycles for JT15D engines and availability of parts are routine considerations for continued airworthiness and marketability.
