N590A

This article describes a single airframe, the business jet registered as N590A, a 1989-built example of the Cessna 560 Citation V with manufacturer serial 560-0029. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna and is registered in the United States; ownership is held by KEN THURSTON DEVELOPMENT CORP, a corporation based in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The record for this airframe notes standard corporate ownership and U.S. registration without additional publicized ferry flights, major damage history, or lien events in the supplied data. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the provided dataset.

The subject airframe typically supports an eleven-seat cabin configuration as indicated by its 11-seat complement, suggesting a layout suited for small corporate or charter missions rather than large-group transport. With a maximum cruise of 430 knots and a published range of 1,960 nautical miles, typical operations for this airframe would encompass regional to transcontinental U.S. missions from its operator base in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines combine to deliver adequate climb and high-altitude performance to its 45,000 ft ceiling, factors that influence maintenance cycles and inspection intervals specific to high-utilization business jets. No specific avionics fit or cabin amenities were provided in the supplied data.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 560 Citation V family, a light-medium business jet line positioned for owner-operators and small corporate flight departments seeking higher cruise speed and range than earlier Citation models. In its class the Citation V competes with contemporaries offering similar transcontinental capability and single-pilot certification options; demand in the used market is driven by condition, logbook completeness, and engine calendar/TSO status. Maintenance and resale considerations for this particular serial (560-0029) will hinge on the condition of its JT15D-5 engines, corrosion and structural inspections consistent with a 1989 build, and the corporate ownership history recorded under KEN THURSTON DEVELOPMENT CORP.
