Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N690TX, is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5290. The aircraft is owned by Kancolo Aero LLC, a corporation based in Wichita, KS, US, and operates on a US registration. The airframe’s registry reflects ownership by a single corporate operator, with valuation and condition assessments placing its market value at $4,450,883. As a mid-production Citation Excel, its operational profile and maintenance track are consistent with executive transport missions typical of owner-operators based in the central United States.
The cabin of N690TX follows the typical executive layout for the type, configured in an 8–12-place club/forward-facing mix with an aft lavatory and refreshment center, subject to operator-dependent fit. Avionics aboard this airframe are in the Honeywell Primus family, a common fit for Excel/XLS variants that supports modern flight management and integrated flight displays. With a cruise speed of 429 kts and a range of 1,858 nm, the aircraft is well suited to regional corporate missions, point-to-point charter work, and medium-haul executive transport from its Wichita base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would focus on the PW545A turbofan pair’s time-since-overhaul tracking and avionics lifecycle given the Honeywell Primus installation, aligned with corporate operator upkeep practices.
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a performance niche as a super-light/entry-level midsize business jet, offering transcontinental regional capability at high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its class typically emphasize similar cabin flexibility and mission economics; demand among owner-operators and charter companies remains tied to maintenance history, avionics fit, and updated interior configurations. For N690TX, the combination of corporate ownership, Honeywell Primus avionics, and a documented valuation of $4,450,883 are key factors influencing resale potential and charter marketability.
