Model & Market Context

This entry covers airframe N981AG, a 1998-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0466. The aircraft is owned by INTERNATIONAL AVIATION SALES LTD, a corporation listed in Cleveland, OH, US, and is US-registered. The airframe’s history includes the recorded corporate ownership in Cleveland and standard registry entries associated with that corporate operator; no other notable incidents or ownership events are published. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N981AG is outfitted in a typical 7-place executive layout with club seating, a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, and external baggage space of approximately 67 cu ft. Avionics fit for this airframe is consistent with Ultra variants, typically a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting mixed IFR corporate and charter mission profiles. With a cruise of 430 kts and a range of 1,960 nm, the aircraft is well suited for transregional business trips and short international hops from its operator base in Cleveland, OH. Maintenance and operational considerations follow standard light-business-jet practices for JT15D-powered Citation Ultras, with attention to engines, avionics lifecycle, and interior refurbishments appropriate to a 1998 airframe.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-cabin business jet niche among late-1990s designs, offering higher cruise speed and ceiling compared with earlier Citation models while retaining economical operating costs. Typical competitors include other light business jets from the same era that target seven-seat executive missions; buyer and charter demand tends to focus on reliability, retrofit avionics, and interior condition for aircraft of this vintage. Resale and maintenance considerations for N981AG center on JT15D engine support, avionics upgrades such as modernization from the Honeywell Primus 1000 where desired, and the usual inspection and refurbishment cycles for aircraft built in 1998.
