Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N577RW, is a 1997-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with manufacturer serial number 560-0434. The airframe is recorded on the U.S. registry and is registered to BLUE SOUTH ADVENTURES LLC, an LLC based in Westlake, Texas, which serves as the operator/home base for the type in the registry entry. Public registry notes list the aircraft with an 11-seat configuration even though typical executive interiors for the model are smaller. Valuation and detailed condition records for this specific airframe are Not published.

The cabin for this airframe is noted as a typical executive layout accommodating 7–8 passengers in club or forward-facing seating arrangements, although the registry formally lists 11 seats; this reflects the common dual-role nature of Citation Ultras that can serve both executive transport and higher-density seating when configured. The Citation Ultra’s mission profile for this operator is consistent with short- to medium-haul executive and charter flights within a roughly 1,960 nm radius at cruise speeds near 430 kts and altitudes up to 45,000 ft. Specific avionics fit, interior finishes, and line maintenance history for N577RW are Not published in the provided data, but typical operational considerations for this airframe include jet engine shop visit cycles for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines and standard Cessna inspection intervals.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-to-lower-medium business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and transcontinental short-field capability for its class. Competing models historically include light-to-midsize jets with similar range and speed envelopes; demand from private owners and charter operators tends to favor airframes that combine flexible cabin arrangements (executive club seating versus higher-density layouts) with reliable JT15D-series powerplants. For resale and maintenance considerations specific to this airframe, buyer attention typically focuses on engine life, calendar-controlled structural inspections, and the impact of interior configuration choices on marketability given the registry listing of 11 seats versus usual 7–8 passenger executive fits.
