N962KC

This entry covers aircraft tail number N962KC, a 2004 airframe built as serial 560-0670 of the Cessna 560 Citation Encore line by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airplane is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation D & D AVIATION INC, located in Olathe, KS. Public FAA summary information does not list specific avionics panel completion or detailed cabin completion for this tail; there are no publicly noted registry actions or ownership transfers beyond the current corporate registration. The airframe's market valuation in available summaries is listed at $3,700,000, reflecting typical age and specification for a mid-2000s Citation Encore.

The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet with a typical executive cabin layout capable of 7–9 passengers in common configurations, with options for club seating and a belted lavatory seat; the FAA/registry for N962KC does not list the specific cabin completion details. Common avionics for the CE-560 family include the Honeywell Primus 1000 / Primus family, though the specific panel for N962KC is not listed in the public FAA summary. Operationally, the Encore's range of 1,970 nm and cruise of 426 kts suit regional and transcontinental corporate missions, and the airframe ceiling of 45,000 ft supports efficient high-altitude cruise profiles. Maintenance and cabin-upfit considerations for this individual tail would rely on owner records maintained by D & D AVIATION INC and are not detailed in the public registry.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche within Textron Aviation's Citation family, offering improved performance over earlier CE-560 variants thanks to PW535A powerplants rated at 3,400 lbf each. Its mission profile—cruise near 426 kts, roughly 1,970 nm range, high-altitude capability—targets corporate operators and charter services seeking efficient short- to medium-haul performance. Competing models in this market segment include other late-model light bizjets that balance cabin flexibility, operating cost, and resale value; the listed valuation of $3,700,000 for this 2004 airframe reflects those market dynamics and the importance of documented avionics and cabin completions for resale or charter certification.
