N827JS

The airframe bearing registration N827JS is a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5116. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by FE 5116 LLC, an LLC based in Kinston, NC, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this airframe. No public record of multiple ownership transfers or major registry actions is provided in the supplied data; the status reflects a single LLC ownership. Condition and valuation specifics were not published in the provided dataset.

This airframe features the Citation Excel’s stand-up cabin architecture and, per the model’s typical installations, would be configured with a cabin layout ranging from six to eight executive seats or a high-density arrangement accommodating up to ten to thirteen passengers; the supplied data lists the aircraft capacity as 13 seats. Avionics fit for early Excel-series airframes is typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, though later XLS/XLS+ examples and some retrofits may carry Collins Pro Line 21 or more modern suites; the dataset notes the Honeywell Primus 1000 as a typical early Excel fit. Operationally, with a 1,858 nm range and long-range cruise speed of 441 kts, the airframe is suited to medium‑haul business and charter missions from its base in Kinston, NC, US, supporting regional nonstop sectors and trans‑state connectivity. Maintenance considerations follow Citation Excel practices for twin‑engine turbofan light-cabin jets utilizing the PW545A engines; specific maintenance history for this serial was not provided.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light‑to‑midsize business jet niche, offering a stand‑up cabin and trans‑regional performance that competes with contemporaries from Learjet and Hawker lines. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the type balances cabin comfort and efficient cruise for owner/operators and charter operators alike. Market demand historically favors well‑maintained excels for charter fleets and corporate replacement roles; resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on avionics upgrades (e.g., Pro Line 21 retrofits), engine cycles on PW545A installations, and the interior configuration versus mission requirements.
