N608JR

This airframe, registered as N608JR, is a 2001-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5171. It is recorded on the US registry and is owned by EXCEL AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Birmingham, MI, US. The aircraft’s public record reflects a typical Excel-era equipment fit and seating configuration; registry entries indicate a 13-seat certification despite the common executive cabin layout for the model. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this airframe is described as a Typical 8–10 passenger executive layout while the registry shows 13 seats, indicating the airframe may be certificated for additional seating beyond the executive configuration. Avionics are listed generically as the Honeywell Primus series typical for Excel-era aircraft, with the specific fit varying by airframe, so equipment and operational capabilities may differ from one operator to another. Based at the owner’s location in Birmingham, MI, US operations would commonly include short- to medium‑haul executive transport, air taxi and charter missions within the aircraft’s 1,847 nm range and long‑range speed capability. Maintenance considerations align with twin‑engine turbofan practice for aircraft in this class, including PW545A lifecycle and Honeywell avionics support regimes.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-to-midsize corporate jet niche offering a blend of cabin volume and runway performance suited to owner-operators and charter fleets. With a cruise around 422 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, it competes with contemporaries in the midsize/light jet sector. Buyer and charter demand historically favors well‑maintained examples with updated avionics and interior configurations; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe should account for PW545A engine support and the variable Honeywell Primus avionics fits across Excel-era airframes.
