N737D

This entry documents airframe N737D, a 2006-built Cessna Citation 560XL (Citation Excel/XLS) with serial number 560-5638. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity DEGOL AVIATION INC, located in Altoona, PA, US — this ownership represents the primary recorded operator/home base relationship for the airframe. The airframe’s factory identity, year of manufacture and serial are consistent with its Citation Excel/XLS configuration; valuation and condition summaries indicate an estimated market value of $4,650,000. No additional registry actions or historical operators are published beyond the listed corporate ownership.

The cabin of N737D is laid out in a typical executive configuration accommodating 8–10 places in an executive seating plan with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; published dimensional approximations for this aircraft type list a cabin length of roughly ~18.5 ft, width ~5.4 ft, and height ~5.7 ft, reflecting the aircraft's internal volume and passenger comfort envelope. Avionics fitted to this airframe vary by original fit or retrofit and are reported as either Honeywell Primus 1000 or Collins Pro Line 21, indicating potential differences in cockpit systems across configurations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with light-medium business jet operations — medium-range corporate travel and on-demand charter — operating from the owner’s base in Altoona, PA; maintenance considerations follow standard multi-engine turbine practices for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500-series engines and enterprise-level upkeep for corporate-operator aircraft.

As a member of the Citation Excel/XLS family, Cessna Citation 560XL (Citation Excel/XLS) airframes occupy the midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and runway performance for short- to medium-haul corporate missions. Competing models typically include similarly sized mid-light business jets; buyer and charter demand historically target aircraft with reliable aftermarket support and updated avionics — factors relevant here given the presence of either Honeywell Primus 1000 or Collins Pro Line 21 systems. Maintenance and resale considerations for N737D will reflect the airframe’s 2006 vintage, its PW545B engine type, and recorded valuation of $4,650,000, along with any completed avionics retrofits or interior refurbishments.
