N869JS

This entry covers the specific airframe N869JS, a 2001-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5159. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by DUN AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Glen Rock, PA, US, which is the documented operator/home base for this airframe. The airframe carries a market valuation listed at $4,331,747 and presents as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet typical of early 2000s Citation Excel deliveries. No additional registry transfers or notable incidents are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this Cessna 560XL Citation Excel is arranged in an executive layout commonly fitted for 7–8 passenger use but is configured with 13 seats as noted for this airframe; it includes an enclosed lavatory and a refreshment/galley area consistent with typical Excel interior fits. Avionics aboard this airframe are of a Honeywell-class fit, reflecting the common Citation Excel avionics suites for the model generation. Operationally, the airframe’s mission profile aligns with short- to mid-range executive transport tasks, leveraging a cruise speed of 429 kts and a range of 1,847 nm for point-to-point corporate or charter missions out of its Glen Rock, Pennsylvania base. Maintenance considerations follow standard Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engine programs and Citation airframe inspection cycles.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a mid-size business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort and short-field performance against operating economy; it competes with contemporaries in the super-midsize category. With twin PW545 engines and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type appeals to buyers seeking reliable regional executive transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2001 airframe like 560-5159 center on engine program status, avionics upgrades (despite a Honeywell-class fit), and interior refurbishment, all factors that influence market demand and valuation around the listed $4.33M figure.
