N979AZ

The airframe bearing tail number N979AZ is a 2005-built example of the Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) with manufacturer serial 560-5550. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by REVOLUTIONARIES CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Registry entries list a 13-seat configuration for this specific aircraft and the airframe is appraised at approximately $4,500,000 in current valuation records. Operationally the aircraft is identified as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured and maintained to standards consistent with corporate operators based in Scottsdale, AZ.

Registry documentation for N979AZ lists a 13-seat cabin layout; however, the Citation Excel family typically features executive interiors of 7–9 passengers with an enclosed lavatory and refreshment center, indicating this airframe may be configured for higher-density or flexible corporate missions. The airframe is commonly employed on short to medium-haul corporate and charter sectors consistent with its 1,847 nm range and 429 kt cruise speed, enabling efficient transcontinental and regional routings from its Scottsdale base. Avionics fit is recorded as Honeywell Primus-series typical of the 560XL family, supporting advanced flight management and navigation capabilities used by corporate flight departments. Maintenance considerations follow the PW545 engine commonality and Textron Aviation-supported component pathways for 2005-build Citation Excel-series airframes.

As a member of the Citation Excel/560XL family, Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel) airframes occupy a niche for operators seeking cabin comfort, short-field performance, and efficient cruise speeds without moving into larger midsize jets. Competing models target similar missions and include other light-midsize jets offering executive amenities. Market demand for 2005-era Excel-series airframes is driven by cost-conscious corporate buyers and charter operators; resale and maintenance value for N979AZ is influenced by its PW545 engines, avionics pedigree, and documented 13-seat registry configuration.
