RADAR ESTIMATE
What N100AR is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation Excel on its own yet, so this borrows the Cessna Citation XLS+ curve, scales it to N100AR's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N100AR
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing tail number N100AR is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5241. It is owned by Independence Aircraft Inc, a corporation based in Manchester, NH, US, and is registered in the US. No further registry actions or operator changes are published beyond the listed ownership and registration.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe carries an executive mid-cabin layout typical of the Excel series, normally fitted with 7-9 executive seats though the registration record for N100AR lists 13 seats, indicating either an alternate interior configuration or a full certified seating arrangement. Factory-installed Honeywell avionics, typical for the Excel series, provide the baseline avionics suite for this aircraft. Mission profiles for this airframe align with short-to-medium haul business and charter operations within the aircraft’s 1,839 nm range and 433 kt cruise speed, operating from the owner’s base in Manchester, NH, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow standard Pratt & Whitney PW545A engine programs and Citation Excel structural checks consistent with a 2002 build year.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for many regional missions with a 45,000 ft ceiling and executive cabin flexibility. Competing models in its class typically include other midsize jets offering similar speed and range; buyers and charter operators value the Excel for its balanced operating costs and cabin utility.
