N842A

The airframe bearing tail number N842A is a 1999-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5042. It is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation ASTEC INDUSTRIES INC, located in Chattanooga, TN, US. The aircraft’s public record includes the build year, serial, and corporate ownership; no notable registry actions have been published for this specific airframe. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

This specific Citation Excel is configured with a typical eight-passenger executive layout, though the cabin is explicitly operator-configurable and may be refitted to different executive or mission-specific arrangements. Operationally, the airframe’s range of 2,080 nm and cruise speed of 429 kts make it suitable for medium-haul corporate transport and business charter missions out of its operator base in Chattanooga, TN, US. Avionics and specific onboard amenities for this serial are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations follow from the twin PW545A engines and certification as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet, requiring operator adherence to manufacturer and regulatory inspection schedules.

As a member of the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family, N842A occupies the light-medium business jet niche, combining transregional range with high single-flight speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Typical competitors in this market segment include other light to midsize executive jets that offer similar range and performance; buyer and charter demand traditionally favors clean maintenance histories and well-documented corporate ownership such as that shown by ASTEC INDUSTRIES INC. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its 1999 build year, serial 560-5042, and the continued supportability of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines.
