N868JS

This airframe, registered as N868JS, is a 2001-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5152. The airframe is held by FRAYER JETS 2 LLC of Oklahoma City, OK, US, listed in the US civil registry under that ownership. As a 2001 production airframe in the Excel family, its registry entry records a 13-seat configuration, and available records note standard executive interior conversions and Honeywell avionics fits typical to the model. No public record of extraordinary incidents is provided in the supplied data; ownership and home-base indications place its operational nexus in Oklahoma City.

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical executive layout for an Excel-series airframe; while operator configurations commonly present 8–9 executive seats, the registry for this airframe lists 13 seats and notes a forward galley/refreshment center and an aft lavatory in operator configurations. Avionics fit is from the Primus/Honeywell family (Honeywell avionics), consistent with Excel/XLS equipment standards. Operationally the aircraft’s combination of a near-1,850 nm range and 429 kt cruise speed suits short to mid-range corporate missions and on-demand charter work out of its Oklahoma City base. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe reflect PW545-series engine support and typical Honeywell avionics sustainment, and interior configurations may affect payload-range planning for charter operations.

Manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel sits in the mid-size/business turbofan niche, offering pressurized cabin comfort with transregional capability as demonstrated by this airframe’s 1,847 nm range, 429 kt cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. The 2001 manufacture date and equipment fit (PW545 engines, Honeywell avionics) influence maintenance cycles, component life limits and avionics upgrade considerations when evaluating resale or continued charter deployment. Prospective buyers and operators commonly weigh interior reconfiguration and avionics modernization against lifecycle airframe hours when assessing market value and operational readiness for Excel-series jets of this vintage.
