N83SP

This entry describes airframe N83SP, a factory-built Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) completed in 2001 with serial number 560-5202. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate operator Kelbel Aviation LLC, based in Longview, TX, US; it was acquired by Kelbel Aviation LLC and remains on the U.S. registry. Valuation records list the airframe at $3,800,000, reflecting its midsize executive configuration and typical market condition for a 2001 Excel equipped to corporate standards. No additional notable registry actions are published for this specific tail.

The airframe is fitted with an executive interior intended to accommodate a typical 7–13 passenger executive layout, commonly arranged as forward club seating, a belted divan, and an aft lavatory/galley depending on the cabin fit for this ship. Avionics are reported as the Honeywell Primus suite typical of the Excel line, supporting standard corporate IFR operations and advanced flight-management functions. Operated from Longview, TX, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short-to-medium range corporate transport, frequent shuttle and on-demand charter sectors within its 1,858 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 422 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the PW545 engines of the PW500 series and corporate interior systems upkeep.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) occupies a midsize business-jet niche balancing cabin comfort with efficient short-field performance; this particular example’s 422 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling reflect that performance envelope. Competing types in the segment target similar charter and owner-operator buyers seeking 7–13 passenger executive capacity with trans-regional range. Resale and maintenance value drivers for this airframe include its Honeywell Primus avionics fit, PW545 engine configuration, and its documented ownership by Kelbel Aviation LLC, all factors reflected in the stated $3,800,000 valuation.
