N809JS

The airframe bearing tail number N809JS is a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel, serial number 560-5094, operated under a US registration. It is owned by FE 5094 LLC, an LLC based in Kinston, NC, US, which appears as the listed legal owner and operator/home base contact in registry data. The airframe retains its original designation within the Citation Excel family and is recorded with a contemporary market valuation of $3,950,000. Maintenance and equipment records note the aircraft as a typical Excel-era airframe with avionics commonly upgraded over time.

The cabin layout for this airframe is established as a typical executive arrangement of 7–8 place, while the airworthiness certificate allows seating up to 13 passengers. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 1000 in the typical Excel/XLS fit, with a note that many airframes of this model have subsequently received avionics upgrades—this airframe may reflect that common modernization pattern. Operationally the aircraft suits short- to mid-range corporate transport missions consistent with its 1,839 nm range and 433 kts cruise capability, and it operates from its owner/operator base in Kinston, NC. Maintenance considerations follow standard multi-engine fixed-wing schedules for the PW545A engines and Excel-series systems.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche as a cabin-class, multi-engine corporate transport with transregional mission capability, reflected by this airframe’s 1,839 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models typically include other light-cabin jets targeting owner-operators and charter fleets; market demand for well-maintained Excel airframes remains driven by operational economics and avionics/engine condition. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the condition and upgrade history of the Honeywell Primus 1000 installation (or any retrofit) and the service status of the pair of PW545A engines, factors that materially affect valuation near the listed $3,950,000.
