Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe registration N884B, a factory-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel completed in 2001 with manufacturer's serial number 560-5140. The airframe is owned by FRIENDLY SKIES 2 LLC, an LLC based in Muncie, IN, US, and operates on a United States civil registration. No public record of prior owners or major registry actions is provided in the supplied data; ownership is therefore presented as a single listed entity. The airframe is valued at $3,000,000, reflecting market position and its-equipped state for executive transport.
The cabin of this Cessna 560XL Citation Excel is described as a typical executive configuration with a 7–9 place executive club layout, featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory/baggage area. Avionics fit for this airframe is reported as Honeywell avionics (typical for Excel/XLS family), supporting common corporate and charter mission avionics requirements. Typical missions for this airframe range from short- to mid-range executive transport given the 1,839 nm range and high cruise speed of 433 kts, enabling efficient point-to-point flights within the continental United States. Based in Muncie, IN, US, the registered owner/operator profile indicates use consistent with private corporate or charter operations; maintenance considerations align with twin-PW545 systems and Honeywell avionics type support.
The Citation Excel (560XL) occupies a light-medium business jet niche combining cabin comfort with solid regional performance: cruise speeds around 433 kts, transcontinental-feasible range near 1,839 nm, and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in its class include other light/medium jets offering similar payload-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand tends to favor airframes with well-documented maintenance and Honeywell avionics suites. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on PW545 engine support, serial-specific maintenance history, and the market valuation near $3,000,000 for a 2001 Excel in executive configuration.
