Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N59DF, is a 1991-built Cessna business jet of serial number 560-0098. The airframe is recorded as owned by RLC PARTNERS LLC (an LLC) based in Grand Prairie, TX, US, which constitutes the primary documented change in custody for this airframe. The aircraft is a factory-built Cessna 560 Citation V and is registered in the US. No additional public registry events or valuation details are published for this specific serial in the supplied data.
The cabin of this particular Cessna 560 Citation V is documented with a seating capacity of 11, implying a typical executive or high-density commuter layout tailored for short to medium-haul missions within its 1,960 nm range. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is suited to fast point-to-point business travel and charter operations from its operator base in Grand Prairie, TX, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 turbofan engines, each rated at 2,900 lbf, and standard inspection cycles for a 1991-model airframe; no specific modifications or unique cabin amenities are published in the supplied data.
The airframe belongs to the Cessna 560 Citation V family, a model aimed at operators seeking a light, long-legged business jet capable of transcontinental hops within its nearly 2,000 nm range. Its combination of a 430 kts cruise and a 45,000 ft ceiling places it in a performance niche between very light jets and larger midsize business jets. Buyers and charter customers typically value this model for its balance of speed, range, and capacity—here evidenced by the 11-seat configuration—while maintenance and resale considerations commonly reflect airframe age (this example being a 1991 build) and engine type (JT15D-5) as primary determinants of marketability.
