N700LP

The airframe bearing tail number N700LP is a 1992-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial number 560-0194, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by LONE STAR AVIATORS LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US; ownership is recorded to that entity on the current registry. The type is a member of the Citation V family and the airframe is valued at approximately $2,500,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical market position for early-1990s Ultras. Certification details note the airframe is certificated for up to 11 seats under its registration.

This specific Citation Ultra typically carries a cabin fitted in the common executive club arrangement, described as a 7–8-place interior layout for comfortable business transport while remaining certificated for up to 11 seats. Avionics aboard this airframe follow the family’s typical fit, commonly featuring a Honeywell Primus-style integrated EFIS suite, though exact fit can vary by individual aircraft and may have been customized since manufacture. Operationally the airframe’s combination of a 1,960 nm range and 430 kt cruise speed makes it well suited to medium‑range corporate or charter missions from its operator base in Houston, TX, connecting regional city pairs and point-to-point business travel. Maintenance and refurbishment considerations for this particular airframe reflect its 1992 build year and standard Ultra-series systems and engine type.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a performance niche within light-to-midsize business jets, offering higher cruise speeds and ceiling relative to earlier Citation models while maintaining efficient short-field capability. Competing models in this segment historically include other light-to-midsize turbofan business jets offering similar range and seating, and demand has been steady for well‑maintained Ultras for both owner-operators and charter fleets. For resale and ongoing maintenance, buyers typically weigh the appeal of the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines, the common Honeywell Primus-style avionics architecture, and the airframe’s certification for up to 11 seats against refurbishment costs and avionics upgrade needs on a 1992-built example.
