N968SR

This airframe, registered as N968SR, is a 1997-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0414. The aircraft is listed as owned by CHRYSLER AVIATION INC, a corporate owner based in Van Nuys, CA, US, and the U.S. registry shows current registration and valuation details. The serial and registration history indicate a late-1990s Citation Ultra line example that has been operated in a corporate/charter environment; ownership by a corporate entity based in Van Nuys is the principal notable change on the public record. The airframe is appraised at $1,782,984, reflecting its model year, configuration and market context.

The cabin for this specific airframe is described in registry notes as a typical executive layout, with the registry listing 11 seats while many operator listings and sales entries indicate common executive configurations of 7–9 passengers (including 4-place club arrangements or a forward divan). The aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with light-cabin business transport and short-to-medium international hops within its 1,960 nm range and transcontinental U.S. capability from a base like Van Nuys. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe align with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D engine support and standard Citation Ultra airframe programs; variant and operator listings suggest interior variations between factory and charter fits but no unique supplemental equipment is published for this tail.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering moderate transcontinental range and cruise speeds around 430 kts, with a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft suitable for efficient IFR cruise. Competing models in the era include other light business jets of the late 1990s; buyer and charter demand often centers on airframes with well-documented maintenance and flexible executive interiors, both relevant to this airframe given its corporate ownership and mixed seat-count listings. Resale considerations for N968SR will reflect airframe age (1997), installed engines (JT15D-5D), interior configuration variability, and the published market value of $1,782,984.
