N664CE

The airframe bearing registration N664CE is a 2004-built Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) with serial number 560-0664. The aircraft is owned by PRIDE AVIATION SUPPORT LLC, an LLC based in Exeter, PA, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Registered to PRIDE AVIATION SUPPORT LLC in Exeter, PA, the airframe’s documentation reflects typical light-business-jet usage and an estimated market valuation of $3,400,000. Maintenance and condition highlights for this specific airframe follow standard Encore program practices and are consistent with its year and serial-series service life.

The cabin on this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout, providing 7–9 passenger executive seating with belted aft lavatory (custom interiors vary) and an overall seating capability of 11 including crew. Avionics equipment commonly fitted to the Encore series and noted for this airframe’s configuration include the Honeywell Primus 1000 integrated flight deck. Operational missions for this airframe are consistent with light-medium corporate transport and on-demand charter work, exploiting the Encore’s transregional range of 1,736 nm and cruise speed near 430 kts. Based in Exeter, PA, US under corporate ownership, scheduling, ferrying and routine inspections follow Part 135/121-related practices where applicable; the belted aft lavatory and executive seating reflect a focus on short- to medium-haul executive transport rather than high-density commuter use.

The Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) occupies a niche for owners seeking a light-cabin jet with improved thrust and altitude capability over earlier Citation variants, powered here by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A engines. With a ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise of 430 kts, the type competes with light-to-mid-size designs from manufacturers such as Embraer and Bombardier in the pre-owned market. Buyer and charter demand for 2004-era Encores emphasizes proven systems like the Honeywell Primus 1000, predictable performance, and lifecycle maintenance history; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status, avionics upgrades, and interior refurbishment given the variability of custom interiors.
