N716LD

This airframe, registered as N716LD, is a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 560-5255. The aircraft is recorded as owned by DORF AIR LEASING LLC (an LLC based in Saint Louis, MO, US), reflecting its current lessor status rather than a direct commercial operator. The airframe is US-registered and typically appears in listings with a Honeywell avionics fit; registry entries and sales listings have consistently reported a Honeywell Primus-series suite for Excel/XLS configurations. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data.

The installed cabin configuration for this airframe follows the typical executive layout, with reported 7–9 passenger executive seating, a forward refreshment center and an aft lavatory; overall certified seating is 13. Avionics listings for the airframe indicate a Honeywell Primus-series avionics suite consistent with Excel/XLS fits, supporting typical business-jet navigation and systems monitoring. Operated from a US base under ownership by a Saint Louis, MO–based lessor, the aircraft is well suited to regional and transcontinental corporate missions within its 1,847 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 429 kts. Maintenance considerations for this unit align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engine support and Honeywell avionics common to the Excel line, factors often highlighted in leasing and charter availability listings.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and runway performance; this airframe’s PW545A engines and 45,000 ft ceiling maintain that positioning. Competing models typically include other midsize business jets that trade payload-range and cabin dimensions; demand from buyers and lessors centers on proven avionics packages such as the Honeywell Primus-series and well-documented maintenance histories. For resale or lease, operators will evaluate this aircraft on its documented cabin fit, engine type, and US registry status, all of which influence marketability in corporate and charter markets.
