N851SH

This airframe, registered as N851SH, is a 1997-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0439. The aircraft is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is currently owned by FLIGHT TIME LLC, an LLC based in Des Moines, IA, US. The airframe appears on the United States civil registry under its US registration and there are no additional public records of previous operators or major registry transfers in the supplied dataset. Valuation data supplied places the aircraft at $2,200,000, reflecting its model, age and configuration as of the provided information.

The cabin for this specific airframe is documented as a typical executive layout configured for 7–11 passengers with a forward divan, mid‑cabin club seating and an enclosed aft lavatory; the public registry notes that a specific interior fit is not listed in the public registry. Typical missions for a Citation Ultra of this configuration include short- to medium-range corporate transportation and on-demand charter where transcontinental legs are within the aircraft’s 1,960 nm range at cruise speeds near 430 kts. The two JT15D-5 turbofan engines provide the thrust and performance consistent with high‑altitude cruise to the max certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, and operator maintenance considerations would follow Pratt & Whitney and Textron service intervals for the series.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light-cabin business jet niche with performance suited to owner-operators and charter operators seeking higher cruise speeds and transcontinental flexibility without stepping into larger mid-size categories. Competing models in the same era and mission profile include light jets from manufacturers offering similar range and seating capacity; the Ultra’s twin JT15D engines and 45,000 ft ceiling support efficient climb and cruise. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1997 airframe, as reflected in the provided valuation, will hinge on hours, cycles, avionics fit and interior condition—only partially disclosed in public registry notes for this serial—and operator maintenance history held by FLIGHT TIME LLC.
