N77JD

N77JD is operated as a midsize business jet configured as a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel (C56X). The airplane is tracked on ADS‑B/flight‑tracking services with Mode S hex AA677A and recent public movements show flights between Fort Smith, AR (KFSM), Sugar Land / Houston area airports (KSGR) and regional points in Texas and Panama City, FL during late 2025. The airframe is presented in an executive cabin layout typical of Excel conversions and photo records show an all‑white fuselage with contrasting cheatline and registration on the tail. Public spotting images and ADS‑B traces indicate active Part‑91/private operations rather than fractional or airline service.

Operationally N77JD is used on short to mid‑range missions (regional hops and coast‑to‑coast legs within the Excel’s performance band). Typical cabin configuration for an Excel is 8 passenger seats plus 2 crew; avionics suites on original Excels are Honeywell Primus‑class avionics with optional upgrades possible. The Excel’s cabin (stand‑up height, ~5.7 ft) and large external baggage make it suitable for owner/operators and charter brokerage that prioritise a comfortable mid‑jet cabin with good runway performance. Recent tracked flights in Nov 2025 show multi‑leg repositioning between KFSM and Texas fields, consistent with charter or owner/operator use.

The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) was produced 1998–2004 and combines a mid‑cabin stand‑up interior with straight‑wing field performance. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A turbofan engines and is certificated to FL450; typical high‑speed cruise is in the low‑400 kt range and NBAA IFR ranges are ~1,600–1,700 nm depending on payload. The Excel competes in the mid‑jet segment on price and field performance versus older swept‑wing midsize types; common missions are executive transport, ad‑hoc charter, and corporate repositioning. N77JD’s public footprint (photos and ADS‑B history) indicates a maintained, active asset appropriate for operators requiring 8–9 pax regional capability.
