N579BJ

The airframe bearing tail number N579BJ is a 1996-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial number 560-0383, manufactured by Cessna. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by CURLY LLC, a limited liability company based in Santa Maria, CA, US. This specific airframe features the factory-era Citation Ultra configuration and retains a seven-place executive interior; public data for prior registrants or additional registry actions are not provided. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied dataset.

The aircraft is outfitted with an executive seven-place cabin in an executive layout featuring forward club seating, belted aft seats and an enclosed lavatory, reflecting a typical Citation Ultra executive fit. The avionics fit listed for the Ultra-series is the Honeywell Primus 1000 (EFIS), described as a common fit for the series and subject to variation by retrofit on individual airframes. With a 1,960 nm range and 430-knot cruise speed, the airframe is suited to regional and short transcontinental missions from its operator base in Santa Maria, CA, US, supporting typical corporate or private transport profiles. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engine schedules and airframe-type inspections consistent with Citation Ultra-series practice.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light to lower-medium business jet niche within the Citation family, offering transcontinental capability for short- to mid-range corporate missions. Its twin JT15D-5 engines producing 2,900 lbf each deliver cruise performance and a 45,000 ft ceiling that keep it competitive with contemporaries in charter and owner-operator markets. Buyers and operators commonly weigh retrofit avionics, interior refurbishment and engine/airframe time when assessing maintenance and resale considerations for Ultra-series airframes of this vintage.
