N87WU

The airframe, registered as N87WU, is a 1999-built Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel / XLS) with serial number 560-5039. The aircraft is owned by BARRISTAIR LC, an LLC based in Beaumont, TX, US, and operates on a US registration. Registered to BARRISTAIR LC in Beaumont, Texas, this airframe reflects a late-1990s Citation Excel-series example, retaining manufacturer-correct systems and typical executive interior configuration. No public record of major incident history is presented in the supplied data; valuation and condition specifics are not published here.

The aircraft is configured for up to 13 seats and in a typical executive layout featuring a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, consistent with the Citation Excel/XLS line’s common cabin arrangements. Avionics are of the Honeywell Primus-style fit typical for XLS/Excel variants, supporting advanced navigation, communication, and flight-management capabilities suited to business and charter operations. With a maximum cruise near 433 kts and a range of 1,847 nm, the aircraft is optimized for medium-haul point-to-point missions such as regional corporate travel and on-demand charter runs from its operator base in Beaumont, Texas. Routine maintenance considerations would follow type-specific Pratt & Whitney PW500-series engine programs and Honeywell avionics support pathways, with operational planning often leveraging the 45,000 ft service ceiling for efficient climb profiles on longer stage lengths.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel / XLS) family occupies a niche between light and midsize business jets, offering cabin comfort and runway performance attractive to corporate and charter buyers. With twin PW545-series engines delivering roughly 3,952 lbf each, the type competes with light-to-midsize jets from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Embraer in missions requiring single-stop intercity range and executive interiors. Buyer and charter demand typically favors well-maintained, avionics-upgraded examples; resale considerations for a 1999 airframe like 560-5039 center on engine life remaining, avionics standard (Honeywell Primus-style), and overall cabin refurbishment status.
