RESEARCH NOTES
About N148JR
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing the registration N148JR is a 1999-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel, manufacturer serial number 560-5043, produced by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by Dodson International Parts Inc, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US, which appears in registry records as the current owner/operator. The airframe reflects late-1990s Excel-line build specification and retains the typical systems and configuration associated with early Citation Excel deliveries. No publicly noted major registry actions or transfers beyond the recorded corporate ownership are listed in the supplied data.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin of this airframe conforms to a typical executive layout intended for 7-9 passengers in club seating with a single aisle, a forward galley and an enclosed aft baggage compartment, while remaining configurable by the operator to low double-digit seating for other missions. Avionics fit is typical of early Excel installations, listed as Honeywell Primus-series (typical for early Excel / Honeywell Primus 1000), supporting standard business-jet navigation and communications of the era. Operated from its corporate base in Rantoul, KS, US, the aircraft’s mission profile would commonly include medium-range executive transport, charter rotations, and parts-related movements consistent with a corporate owner involved in aviation spares. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on life-limited component tracking for PW545 engines and avionics support for legacy Honeywell Primus-series systems.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a niche as a midsize business turbofan combining cabin comfort with efficient short- to medium-range performance, exemplified here by 1,839 nm range and 429 kts cruise. Competing models in its era include light-midsize jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream submodels, with buyer and charter demand typically driven by operating economics, cabin size and runway performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for late-1990s Excels focus on engine program status for PW545 variants, corrosion and structural inspections typical of the fleet age, and avionics modernization potential for Honeywell Primus-equipped airframes.
