N999DJ

The airframe bearing registration N999DJ is a 2007 Cessna 560XL Citation XLS, serial number 560-5743, built by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.). It is recorded as owned by DW JONES AVIATION LLC, a Delaware corporation based in Wilmington, DE, and carries United States registration and operating authority. The airframe’s documented valuation is $5,500,000, reflecting typical market appraisal for an early XLS example with factory-standard systems. Registry records indicate operation from a corporate base in Wilmington, DE, with no other ownership entries provided in the supplied data.

The aircraft is outfitted with a stand-up executive cabin arranged in a typical 8–9-place club layout featuring forward and aft seating areas to support short to medium-haul corporate missions. Avionics are specified as the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, the common fit for Excel/XLS installations, supporting standard IFR corporate operations and modern navigation/communication capabilities. With a 2,100 nautical mile range and a cruise speed near 441 knots, the airframe is optimized for transcontinental U.S. trips and regional international hops. Operator-based maintenance and amenities would reflect corporate use patterns under DW JONES AVIATION LLC stewardship, emphasizing passenger comfort and routine inspection cycles appropriate for a 2007-model XLS.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of cabin comfort, runway performance, and operating economics versus competitors. Typical competitors include other light-medium cabin jets; buyers and charter operators value the XLS for its stand-up cabin and 45,000 ft ceiling capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on age-related component retirement and avionics commonality—the Honeywell Primus 1000—facilitating parts interchange and avionics support across Excel/XLS fleets. The documented valuation of $5,500,000 positions this example within expected market ranges for a 2007 XLS in corporate configuration.
