Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N70EC is a 2002-built example of the Cessna 560 Citation Encore, constructor serial 560-0609, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and carries the typical ownership and operational profile of corporate/light charter Ettaches from its model class; specific ownership timeline and operator base are not published. Entry on US civil registers and valuation information are noted, with an estimated market value of $3,400,000 reflecting its 2002 build year and configuration.

The cabin for this airframe is reported as a typical 7‑place executive layout: forward club seating, mid‑cabin club seating, and a belted aft lav area, consistent with similar Encore-series airframes. Avionics fit is reported as the typical Honeywell Primus/IFCS suite for Encore-series aircraft but the specific fitment for N70EC has not been confirmed. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range of 1,410 nm, the airframe is well suited to regional business missions and point‑to‑point corporate operations from a US operator base; exact operator home base and route logs are not published. Maintenance considerations will center on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A turbofans and aging‑airframe inspections typical for a 2002 construction.

This airframe belongs to the Cessna 560 Citation Encore family produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation), combining high‑altitude capability to 45,000 ft with transregional range and a seven‑seat executive cabin. The airframe’s cruise performance (430 kts) and twin PW535A installation position it for corporate and charter demand where speed and altitude capability are priorities. At an indicated market value of $3,400,000, resale and acquisition considerations for this 2002 airframe will reflect hours, maintenance status, and avionics retrofits, with typical buyer attention to engine life‑limits and avionics verification for the Encore-series.
