N826AC

This entry describes airframe N826AC, a 1993-built Cessna 560 Citation V bearing serial number 560-0242. The airframe is recorded as owned by RED MOUNTAIN AVIATION LLC of Birmingham, AL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the type in its registry entry. The airframe carries United States registration and is identified in civil registers under the cited tail number; no public record of major registry actions or valuation changes beyond standard ownership listing is published in the supplied data. Maintenance and condition highlights beyond factory configuration are not published for this specific airframe.

The cabin on this airframe is outfitted in a typical seven-place executive club layout with a belted lavatory, supporting a standard occupancy of seven to eight passengers depending on configuration and weight-and-balance considerations. The avionics fit for the Citation V series is typically the Honeywell Primus II with EFIS, which in practice affords two-pilot IFR capability and integrated flight instrumentation suited to regional and corporate missions. Typical missions for this specific airframe would include short- to mid-range executive transport and charter hops within the continental US, leveraging its 1,600 nm range and 397 kt cruise speed for efficient point-to-point travel from its home base in Birmingham, AL. No unique cabin amenities or supplemental maintenance programs specific to this registration are published in the provided data.

The Cessna 560 Citation V occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transregional capability with a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin JT15D-5 turbofans producing 2,900 lbf each. Competing models historically include other light jets and entry-level midsize types; demand among private owners and charter operators favors the Citation V for its balance of operating cost, runway performance, and cabin flexibility. Maintenance and resale considerations for airframes like N826AC typically focus on engine program status, avionics retrofits (where Honeywell Primus II may be upgraded), and logbook completeness when evaluating marketability.
