N716BR

This airframe, registered as N716BR, is a 1996-built example of the Cessna Citation Ultra (Model 560), serial number 560-0355. The jet is recorded as owned by TIBURON AVIATION II LLC, a corporate limited liability company based in Dallas, Texas, and carries a US civil registration. The airframe’s documented valuation is $1,716,588, reflecting its age, configuration, and market positioning for mid-size light business jets of the mid-1990s. Notable registry activity includes the corporate ownership record tying the airframe to a Dallas-based operator, with mixed avionics updates reported on this particular airframe.

The interior of N716BR is configured in an executive seven-place layout featuring a forward refreshment center and cabin tables, indicating use for corporate transport and on-demand charter missions. The cockpit carries a Honeywell avionics suite reported as Honeywell Primus 1000 with Honeywell WX-650 weather, while the airframe has been noted to have a mixed Garmin/Honeywell fit including a Garmin GTN-750 navigation unit. Typical mission profiles for this installation would include short- to medium-range executive trips up to its published range of 1,960 nm and cruise at 430 kts, operating from corporate bases such as its owner’s Dallas location. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft include service and parts support for the JT15D engines and potential avionics integration tasks due to the hybrid Garmin/Honeywell fit.

The Cessna Citation Ultra (Model 560) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche introduced in the 1990s, offering long-range capability and high cruise speeds for its class. Competitors in its era included light business jets from Learjet and Beechcraft with similar speed and altitude capability; the Ultra’s ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise of 430 kts positioned it well for executive travel and fractional or charter operations. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N716BR tends to focus on well-maintained, updated avionics and reliable JT15D engine maintenance history; resale considerations reflect airframe age, completion condition, and any mixed-suite avionics modifications that may affect retrofit costs.
