N673QS

This airframe, registered as N673QS, is a 2006-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5651, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The jet is owned by NetJets Aviation, a United States-based corporation, and operates under a US registration. Notable registry items for this specific airframe include its placement within a fractional/corporate operator fleet and a documented valuation reflecting mid-market 560XL condition and equipment: $3,098,750. The aircraft’s operator profile and serial lineage position it squarely in NetJets’ managed fleet of midsize executives configured for fractional ownership and on-demand corporate missions.

The cabin of this airframe is laid out in the typical seven–nine place executive configuration common to the Excel/XLS family and is most commonly configured as 8 seats during fractional or corporate use; interior fittings reflect the fractional operator standard for flexibility between business and short-group missions. Avionics aboard are of the Honeywell Primus / Honeywell-type suite typical to the Excel/XLS family, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight management tasks for transcontinental missions within the aircraft’s 1,858 nm range. Operated by NetJets Aviation, the aircraft is used in a mix of short- to medium-haul executive transportation missions from its US-based operating network; maintenance considerations are consistent with PW545B twin-engine service and fractional program maintenance cycles.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a midsize cabin niche, balancing short-field capability and efficient cruise performance—here represented by a 441 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling powered by twin PW545B engines. Competitors in the same mission class include other light/midsize business jets that offer similar range and capacity; demand in the fractional and corporate market favors airframes with robust support networks and mature avionics fits like the Honeywell Primus. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial reflect typical Excel/XLS lifecycle factors: engine shop visit schedules for PW545B powerplants, avionics upgrade paths within the Honeywell family, and valuation influenced by operator-managed maintenance history and cabin configuration.
