N604SD

This entry covers airframe N604SD, a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel built in 2001 with serial number 560-5204. The jet is owned by SWORKS AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Chicago, IL, and is U.S.-registered (US). Public records regarding prior ownership transfers, notable registry actions, and current valuation or condition highlights are Not published. The aircraft has been configured for charter operations and is operated from its owner’s Chicago base.

The cabin of N604SD is arranged in a typical seven-place executive club layout suited to charter operations, and includes an enclosed lavatory and a refreshment center in a charter configuration. Avionics fit is the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, a common installation for the Excel/XLS era that supports conventional flight management and navigation capabilities for regional and transcontinental business missions. With a cruise speed of 429 kts and a range of 1,847 nm, the airframe is typically employed on medium-haul routes originating from its Chicago operator base, carrying small groups of business or executive passengers. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft include upkeep of the twin PW545A turbofan engines and avionics common to early-2000s Citation Excels; public maintenance-release details are Not published.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a performance niche as a midsize, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet offering a balance of cabin comfort, range, and speed suitable for regional and select transcontinental missions. Demand in charter and owner-operator markets historically favors examples with well-documented maintenance history and popular avionics fits such as the Honeywell Primus 1000; resale considerations for 2001 vintage airframes like N604SD hinge on engine hours, refurbishments, and avionics modernization. The twin PW545A engines, rated at 4,119 lbf each, remain a focal point for lifecycle and value assessments.
