Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N78ZE is a 1996-built Cessna 750 Citation X with serial number 750-0005. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the Dallas-based corporation STAFF-UP LLC, which is listed as the operator/home base in Dallas, TX. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data; the aircraft is presented as a corporate-operated executive transport. Valuation information lists the airframe at $3,600,000, reflecting its age and the Citation X market position.
The cabin layout for this airframe is a typical executive eight‑place double‑club arrangement with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, though operator fit varies and the listed configuration reflects the common executive fit for this serial. Avionics aboard Citation X airframes commonly feature Honeywell/Primus-class suites, with many examples operating Honeywell Primus 2000 or upgraded packages; specific retrofit status for N78ZE is noted as variable within the fleet data. Typical mission profiles for this example would be long-range corporate or charter trips leveraging a 3,125 nm range and high cruise speed, operated from its Dallas, TX base under corporate ownership. Maintenance considerations for this corporate Citation X would follow heavy airframe and engine inspection cycles commensurate with Rolls‑Royce AE 3007C propulsion and the aircraft’s mid-1990s manufacture.
The Cessna 750 Citation X occupies a high-speed, long-range niche within business jets, trading top cruise speeds—here listed at 525 kts—for premium operating and maintenance costs associated with its engines and systems. Competing models in the class emphasize either greater range or lower acquisition cost, placing late‑model Citation X examples in demand for operators prioritizing speed on transcontinental and transoceanic missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1996 serial (750-0005) include avionics retrofits, engine life‑limited component status on AE 3007C powerplants, and market valuation dynamics that are reflected in the listed $3,600,000 estimated value.
