N77DZ

This airframe, registered as N77DZ, is a 2001-built Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) with manufacturer's serial number 560-5168. The aircraft is owned and operated by Wing Aviation Charter Services, LLC, a corporate operator based in Houston, TX, US, and is registered in the US. Current ownership by Wing Aviation Charter Services, LLC defines its operational profile as a charter-configured executive transport. The airframe carries an estimated market value of $3,800,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical systems fit.

The cabin in this airframe follows a typical executive layout for the model with an 8–9 place arrangement comprising a forward divan, club seating in the mid-cabin and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting up to 9 occupants in executive comfort. Avionics are installed in a typical Excel fit as Honeywell Primus 1000, which supports the aircraft’s navigation and flight management needs for corporate and charter missions. Operated from Houston, TX, US, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range charter sectors out to its quoted 1,657 nm range at an economic cruise near 420 kts, enabling nonstop flights between many city pairs in the continental US and to nearby international destinations. Maintenance considerations follow those for late-model Citation Excel airframes equipped with PW545A engines and the Honeywell avionics suite.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and runway performance. With twin PW545A engines producing 3,804 lbf each and a service ceiling to 45,000 ft, the model competes with other light-cabin jets in charter and owner-operator markets. Demand for well-equipped, single-pilot-capable Excels remains steady in charter fleets; resale and maintenance values are influenced by cumulative cycles, avionics standardization such as Honeywell Primus 1000, and documented ownership and maintenance by corporate operators like Wing Aviation Charter Services, LLC.
