N847A

The airframe bearing tail number N847A is a 1999-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5047. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by 8M HOLDINGS LLC (an LLC) based in Bloomfield, NE, US; the current ownership record indicates operation from that home base. Registered to 8M HOLDINGS LLC following prior ownership transfers is the primary recorded change in the aircraft’s custodial history. Publicly available valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are not published; the airframe’s year and configuration, however, place it squarely within the late-1990s Citation Excel fleet in terms of maintenance and refurbishment considerations.

The interior of N847A is fitted in an eight-passenger layout featuring a forward two-place couch opposite the entry, a mid-cabin four-place club, two forward-facing club seats, and an aft lavatory that is externally serviced. The airframe is typically equipped with a Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite as a standard Excel fit, though individual upgrades may exist on this serial. Typical missions for this airframe profile include short- to mid-range business travel and ad-hoc charter work within a 1,800–1,900 nm radius, operating from its Nebraska base to regional U.S. destinations and select international points consistent with its performance. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow normal Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500-series engine schedules and airframe checks appropriate to a 1999 model year Citation Excel.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, combining cabin comfort for up to 13 seats with transcontinental capability for many North American missions. Competing models historically include other light-to-midsize cabin jets offering similar speed and range; the Excel’s strengths are its cabin layout flexibility and cost-efficient operating profile. Buyer and charter demand for late-1990s Excels tends toward operators seeking value in a proven platform, with resale and maintenance considerations focusing on engine program enrollment, avionics upgrades (notably from the typical Honeywell Primus 1000 fit), and cumulative airframe hours for this serial.
