N998GB

The airframe bearing tail number N998GB is a 1999 construction Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial 560-0507, registered in the US. The aircraft is owned by MOONDANCE AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Merriam, KS, US, and is recorded with a market valuation of $2,200,000. As a single-airframe summary, its registry reflects standard corporate operation from its Kansas base, with no other public transfers or incidents detailed in the provided data. The aircraft’s condition and valuation reflect its model year, configuration, and common equipment fit for executive light-jet use.

The airframe is fitted in a typical executive cabin arrangement accommodating 7–11 passengers with options that include a belted aft lavatory and forward seating/divan configurations, consistent with Cessna Citation Ultra interior flexibility. Avionics are equipped with a Honeywell Primus 1000 installation, with common Collins avionics options noted as model-dependent, supporting typical instrument and flight-management capabilities for business missions. With a 1,960 nm range and 430 kt cruise, this aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range corporate flights, air charter, and owner-operator missions originating from its Merriam, Kansas base. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet twin Pratt & Whitney JT15D turbofans and standard Citation Ultra inspection cycles; specific maintenance history and records were not provided.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light-cabin, twin-engine business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling compared to older light jets. Competitors in the segment typically include other late-1990s light-cabin jets from manufacturers offering similar range and payload; buyers often prioritize avionics fit, interior configuration, and engine-time status when evaluating these airframes. Resale and operational considerations for this airframe derive from its 1999 manufacture year, installed Honeywell/Collins avionics options, and the Pratt & Whitney JT15D powerplants, factors that influence maintenance cycles, parts availability, and market demand.
