N80X

This article describes airframe N80X, a 1999-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with manufacturer serial 560-5054. The airframe is recorded as owned by AIRXL LLC, an LLC based in Carmel, IN, US, and operates on the US registry. Recorded in private corporate ownership with an Indiana-based LLC, the airframe’s condition and market valuation are summarized at an estimated $3,200,000 reflecting its late-1990s build and typical Excel-series configuration.

This airframe is configured in a typical executive cabin layout, with common fits for the Excel-series including a four-place club, a forward divan, a forward refreshment center and an externally serviced aft lavatory; the airframe supports 8–13 passenger configurations with the maximum listed at 13 seats. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite typical of Excel-series installations, supporting common corporate and charter mission avionics needs. Operationally the airframe’s range of 1,847 nm and cruise speed of 429 kts suit short- to mid-range corporate missions and point-to-point regional charters, while the 45,000 ft ceiling allows for high-altitude cruise and favorable performance in mixed airspace. Maintenance considerations follow standard Excel-series practices for twin-engine turbofan type-rated inspections and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A support programs.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche combining cabin comfort with performance suitable for owners and charter operators seeking efficiency on regional and transcontinental sectors under 2,000 nm. Competing models in the era include similar light-medium jets offering executive interiors and Pratt & Whitney or Williams-powered variants; buyer demand historically favors well-maintained airframes with updated avionics like the Honeywell Primus 1000. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1999 airframe emphasize engine program status, avionics retrofits, and documented maintenance history when assessing market value around the listed $3,200,000.
