N818SH

This entry covers airframe N818SH, a factory-built Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) completed in 2001 with serial number 560-0581. The airframe is owned by Silverhawk Aviation Inc, a corporate owner based in Lincoln, NE, and is registered in the US. The airframe presents as a typical Encore-series executive jet in corporate ownership; current published valuation for the type and configuration is $3,470,586, and registry records reflect continued corporate operation from Lincoln, Nebraska.

The subject airframe is outfitted in an executive cabin described as a 7–9 passenger layout with a forward single seat, a mid-cabin four-place club, dual aft-facing seats and an enclosed aft lavatory, matching corporate transport missions. Avionics are installed in a Collins Pro Line fitment consistent with Encore variants, typically a Pro Line 21 suite, supporting standard business-jet IFR operations and regional charter or owner-flown corporate missions. With twin PW535A engines producing 3,400 lbf each and a cruise of 414 kts, typical operational profiles for this airframe include medium-range point-to-point hops within the continental US and cross-border flights in North America. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with Encore-series schedules and corporate maintenance practices under Silverhawk Aviation Inc stewardship.

The Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) occupies the light-to-mid-size turbofan business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability compared with earlier Citation derivatives. Competing models in the era include other light-medium jets offering similar range and cabin capacity; buyer and charter demand for Encore airframes typically emphasizes runway performance, operating economics, and avionics modernization potential. For this specific airframe, resale and maintenance considerations reflect its 2001 build year, serial 560-0581, Collins Pro Line avionics fitment, and the lifecycle status of PW535A engine support programs.
