N876RA

This write-up describes airframe N876RA, a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5231. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is registered to and operated by AV TRAN LLC, a Clayton, Missouri-based corporation. The airframe's documented configuration and equipment reflect a typical executive fit for the model, and its market valuation is listed at $4,950,000. No other public historical registry actions are provided beyond the current corporate ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin of N876RA is fitted in a typical executive layout, configured for approximately 8–13 passengers with club seating commonly employed for executive transport. Avionics equipage for this airframe follows the common fit for the type, noted as Honeywell Primus (typical fitment), supporting modern IFR and corporate mission profiles. Operationally the aircraft is suited to domestic and short transcontinental missions within its 1,671 nm range and at cruise speeds near 422 kts, frequently used for corporate shuttle, charter, and owner-flown executive transport out of its Clayton, Missouri base. Maintenance planning for this airframe aligns with twin-turbofan schedules for the PW545 series and typical mid-size business jet inspections appropriate to a 2002-model Citation Excel.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort for up to 13 seats, mid-range capability of 1,671 nm, and high single-flight altitudes to 45,000 ft. Competing models typically include other light-to-midsize jets with similar mission profiles; buyers and charter operators seek examples with well-documented maintenance and Honeywell avionics fitment. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2002 airframe center on engine cycles for the P&W Canada PW545 series, avionics upgrades, and overall paint/interior condition relative to its stated valuation of $4,950,000.
