N691ES

The airframe bearing tail number N691ES is a 1997-built example of the Cessna Citation Ultra (Model 560), serial 560-0402, and is recorded as owned by INTERNATIONAL AVIATION SALES LTD (corporation, Cleveland, OH, US). The airframe’s entry in contemporary civil registers lists United States registration and ownership under a corporate entity based in Cleveland, with valuation records indicating a market value of $1,750,364. Maintenance and registry notes for this individual airframe reflect typical fleet practices for late-model Citation Ultras, and the airframe’s condition and valuation place it within the mature pre-owned business-jet market for late-1990s light-cabin jets. The aircraft’s corporate ownership and US registry are the principal notable administrative details associated with this airframe.

The cabin of this specific Model 560 is outfitted in an executive club seating configuration typical of Ultra-series examples, supporting a 7–11 passenger layout with an enclosed aft lavatory and a refreshment center. Avionics for the Ultra-series fit on this airframe are noted as the Honeywell Primus 1000, though airframe-specific modifications may exist; records state the typical fit rather than an immutable installation. Operationally, the aircraft’s range and cruise speed position it for coast-to-coast US missions and short international hops, frequently employed in corporate, charter, and owner-flown roles out of its Cleveland-based operator. Maintenance considerations align with medium-cycle inspections for Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines and avionics lifecycle items common to late-1990s Honeywell systems.

The Cessna Citation Ultra (Model 560) occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and ceiling relative to earlier Citation variants while maintaining efficient operating costs for its class. Competing models in the era and secondary market typically include other light jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand for a 1997 Ultra centers on availability, maintenance history, and avionics updates such as retrofit of the Honeywell Primus 1000 or subsequent upgrades. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its corporate ownership, documented US registration, engine type, and the reported market valuation.
