N985AG

The airframe bearing tail number N985AG is a 2001-built example of the Cessna Citation Excel (560XL), manufacturer's serial 560-5170, produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation). This specific airframe is registered in the US and is owned by COSMOS560 LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US. Registry data and operator records identify the airframe as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet valued at approximately $4,050,000 in the available summary. Notable registry actions beyond its current ownership and valuation are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin for N985AG is fitted in the typical Citation Excel family configuration, described as a 7–9 executive layout offering club seating, a forward divan and an enclosed aft lav, with the final interior layout subject to variation through refit. Avionics fit for this airframe is consistent with the type: a Honeywell Primus-class installation typical of 560XL-equipped examples, supporting business‑jet IFR operations and common corporate mission equipment. Operated from a US base with ownership tied to Cleveland, OH, the aircraft's performance—cruise of 433 kts with a maximum practical ceiling of 45,000 ft and a range of 1,839 nm—makes it suitable for regional to transcontinental executive transport, charter work, and owner/operator corporate missions. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engine support and 560XL fleet practices.

The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) occupies the midsize light business jet niche, blending cabin comfort typical of larger light jets with single‑aisle efficiencies and runway performance attractive to corporate and charter buyers. With 2× PW545 engines rated at 3,952 lbf each, the model competes against aircraft of similar mission profiles, where buyer interest is often driven by cabin configuration, avionics (here, Honeywell Primus-class) and maintenance history. For this 2001 serial 560-5170, resale and operational economics reflect age, installed systems, and current valuation of $4,050,000, making thorough records and maintenance status key factors for prospective purchasers or operators.
