N918AJ

The airframe bearing tail number N918AJ is a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, manufacturer serial 560-0450, registered in the United States. The airframe is recorded as owned by MACILEY AV MGMT LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and operates under that ownership record in U.S. registries. No public records of prior owners or major registry actions are included in the supplied data beyond the current LLC ownership and U.S. registration. The airframe is valued at $1,850,000, reflecting its late-1990s build, systems fit, and configured passenger capacity.

This Citation Ultra is fitted in a typical executive configuration with a seven–eight passenger club seating arrangement forward, a dedicated refreshment/galley area forward, and a belted aft lavatory; registries note the aircraft can be certificated for up to 11 seats maximum. Avionics are reported as a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite (typical Primus 1000/Primus II installations reported across many Model 560 Ultras), providing integrated flight management, nav/comm and weather capabilities consistent with late-1990s bizjet standards. Typical missions for this airframe type and configuration include short‑to‑medium range corporate or charter trips within the aircraft’s 1,960 nm range at cruise speeds near 430 kts and operating ceilings up to 45,000 ft. Operations based from the owner’s home location in Wilmington, DE, US would commonly include regional U.S. markets; maintenance considerations center on mid-life inspection cycles for airframe and JT15D engines and avionics support for Honeywell Primus family equipment.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-cabin, mid‑performance niche among late‑1990s business jets, offering higher cruise speeds and service ceiling compared with earlier Citation models while remaining more compact and economical than midsize jets. Competitors in the period and secondary market include small-cabin jets with similar range and performance; buyer and charter demand typically targets operators seeking a balance of speed, short-field capability and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its age, installed JT15D-5D engines, and the presence of Honeywell Primus avionics, factors that influence update/upgrade costs and market valuation.
