Model & Market Context

This entry covers airframe N71HC, a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5084. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by SOAR20 LLC (an LLC based in Holmes, Florida), reflecting its current single-owner operational status. The airframe is recorded as U.S.-registered and operated from the owner's Florida base. As of the latest data the airframe carries an estimated market value of $3,200,000, indicating a mid-life valuation consistent with its year and mission capabilities.

The cabin of N71HC is outfitted in a typical 8-place executive layout featuring club seating, a forward refreshment center and a belted aft lavatory while being certified for up to 13 seats. Avionics are noted as Honeywell Primus 1000, a common Excel fit though individual aircraft may have variations or upgrades. Operationally the aircraft’s combination of a 1,847 nm range and 429 kts cruise speed suits medium‑range corporate missions and charter work, typically operated from the owner’s base in Holmes, Florida. Maintenance considerations center on twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engines and the common service practices for the Excel airframe, with upkeep and avionics modernization being typical focal points for continued operational availability.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family, positioned to deliver midsize business-jet performance with a high‑altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft and transregional range. Performance figures such as a 429 kts cruise and the twin PW545 powerplants define its operational niche, balancing speed, cabin comfort and operating economics. Market considerations for this airframe type typically emphasize lifecycle maintenance of PW545 engines, avionics update paths (including Honeywell Primus 1000 common fits), and resale value trends reflected in the aircraft’s stated valuation of $3,200,000.
