N670KF

The airframe bearing registration N670KF is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with manufacturer serial number 560-5306, delivered from Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by the corporate entity 2012 Leasing Inc of Saint Paul, Minnesota, and carries a United States registration. Throughout its service life the airframe has been operated in an executive/charter role under corporate ownership, and its record shows routine operator-based maintenance consistent with leased business jets of its vintage.

The airframe is typically fitted in an 8-place executive layout, reflecting a standard cabin configuration for corporate and fractional operations. Avionics in the fleet-standard Honeywell-era fit are typical for the 560XL; many airframes of this model have been upgraded in service, and this airframe is noted as being equipped consistent with those Honeywell-era systems unless modified by subsequent maintenance or retrofit. Routine missions for this configuration include short- to mid-range business trips within the continental United States and transcontinental sectors approaching the aircraft’s published range, flown from the owner’s base region in Minnesota and operated under US registry and maintenance oversight. Maintenance considerations follow PW545-series engine programs and Citation Excel/560XL airframe inspection cycles typical for early-2000s production aircraft.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering cabin comfort comparable to larger light jets with performance suitable for high-utilization charter and owner-operator fleets. Competing types in the market include other midsize light-cabin jets offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand for well-maintained 2002 XL-series airframes remains steady, with value and resale influenced by avionics upgrades, engine program status, and completed maintenance. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe center on the PW545A engine track record, any Honeywell-era avionics upgrade history, and the aircraft’s lease-based ownership structure.
