N617CB

This airframe, registered as N617CB, is a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5099. The airframe is owned by CARROLL AVIATION HOLDINGS LLC, a corporation based in Boston, MA, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe’s known value is listed at $3,100,000, reflecting its position as a mature, well-equipped example of the Excel line as of the provided data. No additional historic incidents or transfers are published beyond the current corporate ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin of N617CB follows the typical 8‑place executive layout for the Excel series, featuring a forward refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics fit is reported as Honeywell, consistent with the common Primus/Honeywell suites installed in Excel/XLS variants, supporting business-jet navigation, communications and typical flight-management functions for its class. Operated under corporate ownership from Boston, MA, the aircraft is well suited to short- to medium-range business missions and charter work within its 1,847 nm radius, including transcontinental U.S. flights when configured efficiently. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow standard Excel practice, focusing on the PW545A engine program and avionics software/upgrade paths typical for Honeywell-equipped Citations.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business-jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort for eight passengers and higher cruise speeds around 429 kts with a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in this performance and capacity segment include early-generation Hawker and Learjet types and later midsize entrants; buyer and charter demand often centers on reliability, operating economics, and avionics capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2000 build year and corporate ownership, with value influenced by engine-time tracking on the PW545A units and any Honeywell avionics upgrade history.
