N926NC

The aircraft bearing tail number N926NC is a 1995-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial number 560-0328. It is currently owned by BB & RYDER LLC, a limited liability company based in Greenbrier, AR, US, and is registered in the US. The FAA registry for this airframe records an 11-seat configuration, and the airframe carries an estimated value of $1,500,000; maintenance and avionics retrofits have been typical considerations for Ultra-series Citation aircraft of this vintage. Registration and ownership on record indicate stable private ownership under the LLC name with no publicly cited major registry actions beyond routine transfers.

The cabin for this airframe is configured in a typical executive club layout accommodating 6–8 passengers for regular executive cabin arrangements, with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the FAA registry listing of 11 seats reflects the airframe’s capacity to include a belted lavatory/utility seat when required. Avionics fit is commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000 in Ultra-series examples, though many individual airframes—including this model line—have been subject to avionics retrofits over time. Typical missions for this configuration include short to medium-range executive transport and private owner/operator travel within the aircraft’s 1,960 nm range and high-speed cruise capability; operations are generally conducted from the owner’s home base in Arkansas or regional business hubs. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on aging JT15D-5D turbofan lifecycle events and integration of modern avionics suites where desired.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light to light-medium business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering relatively high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient point-to-point business travel. Competing breeds in its era typically emphasized similar short-to-medium range performance and cabin utility; buyers and charter operators value the Ultra for economy of operation among pre-owned bizjets. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1995 airframe like 560-0328 include engine overhaul status, corrosion and fatigue inspections typical of 30-year-old airframes, and the cost/benefit of avionics modernization versus market valuation at approximately $1,500,000.
