N5WT

This entry covers airframe N5WT, a production Cessna 560 Citation Encore built in 2003 with serial number 560-0635. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US; it is registered to SHELL AIR LLC with the owner listed as SHELL AIR LLC, a corporation based in Liberty Township, OH, US. The airframe has a documented estimated market value of $3,495,000 and is configured and operated in a corporate/charter context consistent with its seating and performance characteristics. Notable registry actions are limited to its current corporate registration and ownership record; no additional transfers or deregistrations are published in the supplied data.

The airframe’s cabin is arranged to accommodate 11 seats, reflecting a typical light business jet interior for short- to mid-range executive transport missions. Specific cabin layout details and avionics fit are not published in the provided data; however, the aircraft’s performance—430 kts cruise and a 1,736 nm range—supports point-to-point corporate, charter, and executive repositioning missions across continental distances without refueling. Based in Liberty Township, OH, US by corporate registration, the operator profile for SHELL AIR LLC suggests usage aligned with corporate flight departments or dedicated company transport. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe will follow standard Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A engine support and Citation Encore fleet maintenance programs as applicable to a 2003-built airframe.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering balanced cruise speed and range for regional executive missions. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin PW535A powerplants producing 3,400 lbf each, the Encore competes with contemporaries in its class for owner-operators and charter fleets that value efficiency and runway performance. Given the airframe’s year (2003) and estimated value ($3,495,000), resale and maintenance considerations typically center on engine life, avionics upgrades, and completion condition when assessing market demand and operating cost for prospective buyers or charter operators.
