The aircraft carries an executive cabin layout described as operator-configurable with a typical seating arrangement for 7–9 passengers within an overall capacity of 11 seats, enabling flexible configurations for corporate transport or private missions. As a US-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine jet operated from Fargo, ND, US, typical mission profiles for this airframe would leverage its listed 1,710 nm range and cruise speed of 427 kts for regional to short transcontinental trips. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines, each rated at 2,900 lbf, define routine maintenance regimes specific to that powerplant family; maintenance considerations and scheduling would follow manufacturer and operator programs appropriate to the engine series.
The airframe is part of the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra lineage produced by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), sharing the family’s fixed-wing multi-engine configuration and performance characteristics reflected above. With a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, a cruise speed of 427 kts, and an operator-configurable executive cabin, the platform targets missions requiring fast regional cruise and high-altitude capability.
