N851JS

This entry covers airframe N851JS, a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel built in 2000 with serial number 560-5111. The airframe is registered in the US and is currently owned by FE XL 5111 LLC, a corporation based in Kinston, NC, US. Registry records identify the owner as a corporate operator; there are no additional public notes here about prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

The FAA registry for this airframe shows 13 seats, while typical executive configurations for the model substitute a reduced count — commonly 7–9 club-style seats — to accommodate a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; this unit’s registry entry indicates the airframe is configured to accommodate up to thirteen occupants. Avionics fit for the airframe is listed as Honeywell Primus-series EFIS equipment with primary flight displays (PFDs) and a multi-function display (MFD), appropriate for mixed business and charter operations. With a cruise speed of 422 knots and a range of 1,847 nautical miles, N851JS is well suited to regional business missions, point-to-point charters, and high-utilization corporate schedules operated from its owner’s base in Kinston, NC, US. Maintenance considerations for the installation would focus on the PW545 twin-engine turbofan systems and the Honeywell avionics suite as typical operator-maintained items.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light/intermediate business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional performance with a 45,000 ft ceiling and higher cruise speeds than many entry-level light jets. Competing types in this performance and capacity band include other midsize and large light-cabin jets; demand from buyers and charter operators typically favors airframes with modern avionics and well-documented maintenance histories. For prospective purchasers of N851JS, key resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program status for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545s, the condition and updates to the Honeywell Primus avionics suite, and the interior configuration relative to market preferences for 7–9 executive seat layouts versus full-capacity seating.
