N867JS

The airframe bearing tail number N867JS is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5292. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by JS JET III LLC, an LLC based in Kinston, NC, US; this ownership represents the primary known change in the aircraft's registry. The airframe is configured and typically operated from the owner's regional base in Kinston for executive transport missions, and its assessed market value is $4,669,201, reflecting condition and market factors at the time of valuation.

This airframe is outfitted with a typical eight-place executive cabin layout featuring club seating and an aft baggage compartment offering approximately 90 cubic feet of capacity; the type certificate allows a maximum seating complement of 13. The Citation Excel family normally carries avionics suites suited to corporate and charter operations, and this airframe is used for regional to mid-range executive missions consistent with a 2,100 nm range and a high-speed cruise of about 441 knots. Based from Kinston, NC under ownership of JS JET III LLC, operational considerations include routine maintenance for the PW545-series turbofans and management of executive cabin equipment to preserve resale value and mission readiness.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering cabin comfort comparable to midsize types while maintaining relatively low operating costs and single-pilot capabilities in some configurations. Competing models in the same market segment include early-generation Learjet and Hawker light-cabin jets as well as other Citation variants; buyers and charter operators value the Excel for its balanced cruise of 441 kts and transregional range near 2,100 nm. From a maintenance and resale perspective, this airframe’s 2002 build year and PW545 engines dictate age-related inspections and engine life-cycle planning, factors that are reflected in the stated valuation of $4,669,201.
