N864JS

This entry documents airframe N864JS, a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5242. The airframe is operated and owned by JK AIR LLC (an LLC based in Fayetteville, AR, US), and is registered in the US. The airframe is powered by its original engines and is described in registry records with a market valuation of $4,000,000; notable registry activity includes its ongoing civilian operation under the current LLC ownership. Condition highlights reflect a typical mid-life business jet with continued airworthiness under corporate operation.

This airframe, configured with 13 seats, is typically employed in the short- to medium-range corporate and charter missions consistent with the Citation Excel family. Cabin layout for the model series generally emphasizes a club seating arrangement and light-cargo capability, and this specific aircraft’s configuration supports mixed passenger and light freight roles for regional business travel originating from its base in Fayetteville, AR, US. Avionics and maintenance status are as recorded for a 2002 airframe operating under LLC ownership, with operator maintenance practices expected to follow standard Pratt & Whitney and Textron Aviation inspection intervals for the PW545B-equipped Citation Excel. Typical mission profiles for N864JS include coast-to-coast and regional transcontinental hops within its 1,847 nm range and cruise at 433 kts.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light midsize business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort and operating economics. With twin PW545B engines producing 3,991 lbf each, the model competes with contemporaries such as the Learjet 60XR and Hawker 800 series in charter and owner-operator markets. For a 2002 airframe like N864JS, buyer demand and resale considerations hinge on engine hours, maintenance records, and avionics fit; the listed valuation of $4,000,000 reflects market positioning for well-maintained examples in this model year cohort.
