N806JS

The airframe bearing tail number N806JS is a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with manufacturer serial 560-5083. The airframe is US-registered and listed on the registry under 83 AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US), which is the documented owner and operator/home base for this specific example. The airframe carries a typical mid-life valuation of $3,250,000 reflecting its market position and equipment fit for the Excel/XLS era. Notable registry details include the listed seating capacity of 13, which may reflect a belted lavatory or other alternate seating installation beyond the more common executive cabin fit.

The subject airframe is commonly configured with a typical 8–9 passenger executive club cabin, though the registry for this specific airframe records 13 seats and may include a belted lavatory configuration used to expand formal capacity. Avionics fit is consistent with Excel/XLS-era systems, typically a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting medium-range business missions and conventional IFR operation. Based in Fort Lauderdale, FL under its listed owner, the aircraft is suited to regional and transcontinental missions within its 1,858 nm range and high-speed cruise of 441 kts, commonly flown for owner/charter transport, corporate shuttle, and private business use. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with mid-vintage Citation Excel inspections and engine shop visit planning for the PW545 series.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance, and operating economics that drove strong demand through the 1990s and 2000s. Typical competitors include similarly classed light/medium jets from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Embraer, with buyer demand influenced by avionics updates and engine maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2000 airframe center on cumulative cycles, avionics modernization (e.g., upgrades from Honeywell Primus 1000), and the service status of the PW545 engines when valuing at approximately $3,250,000.
