N887WP

The airframe bearing registration N887WP is a 2001-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel (serial 560-5147) manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is currently registered in the United States to PACK FORCE ONE LLC, an LLC based in Raleigh, NC, US. The airframe’s registry reflects commercial private ownership and operator-based configurability; registered to PACK FORCE ONE LLC as the on-record owner. Valuation estimates for this specific airframe are noted at $3,200,000, reflecting typical market depreciation and maintenance status for a 2001-model Citation Excel.

This airframe is typically outfitted with a factory-style executive cabin described as a 7–9 passenger configuration, with some operator-specific installations marketed or certificated to carry up to 10/11 in transport certification depending on interior fit and certification choices. Avionics fit varies by retrofit on individual airframes but commonly reflects Honeywell Primus family or Honeywell RE-series installations consistent with Excel-series upgrades. Operationally, the aircraft’s combination of transcontinental range and high cruise speed supports regional and near-continental business missions from its Raleigh, NC base, where the owner/operator can employ it for corporate transport, charter, or executive repositioning flights. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life Citation Excel examples, where engine, avionics retrofit, and interior refurbishment history significantly affect availability and mission readiness.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche offering high cruise speed and single-pilot capability in many configurations, competing with contemporaries in the late-1990s/early-2000s market. Demand in the pre-owned market targets buyers seeking a balance of payload-range and operating economics; specific resale and maintenance outlooks for this airframe hinge on documented maintenance, avionics retrofits, and interior condition reflected in the $3,200,000 estimate. Engines of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A type and typical Honeywell avionics choices create predictable supportability pathways but also concentrate value on well-documented, upgraded examples.
