Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N668TX, is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel/XLS with manufacturer serial number 560-5268. The airframe is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, which serves as the primary operator/home base for registry purposes. The US registration lists the aircraft with a stated capacity of 13, a detail that appears alongside the typical executive interior configuration. No separate valuation or detailed condition report is published in the supplied registry data.
N668TX is typically outfitted in the Excel-era executive configuration, described as a 7–9 passenger executive club layout while the registry lists a maximum capacity of 13, reflecting certification limits rather than the usual VIP fit. The installed avionics suite for Excel-era examples is commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000, aligning this airframe with familiar cockpit systems for crews transitioning within the Citation Excel/XLS fleet. Mission profiles for this airframe are consistent with mid-size business jet operations — short to transcontinental trips enabled by a 1,847 nm range and cruise speeds near 429 kts, operating from the owner’s North Salt Lake, UT location for charter or corporate transport. Maintenance and operational planning revolve around the twin PW545 engines and systems typical to the Excel-era Citation.
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel/XLS line occupies the mid-size light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering a combination of cabin flexibility, transcontinental range, and high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft. With a cruise of 429 kts and seating commonly arranged for executive comfort, aircraft like N668TX remain attractive to buyers and charter operators seeking reliable, well-understood platforms; avionics commonality such as the Honeywell Primus 1000 supports crew training and dispatch continuity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engine lifecycle management and the condition of the typical executive interior versus the registry-rated 13-seat capacity.
