RADAR ESTIMATE

What N1867M 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 N1867M's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N1867M

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers airframe N1867M, a 2003-built Cessna Citation Excel registered as 560-5303 in the United States. The airframe is recorded as owned by Mericos Aviation, a corporation based in South Pasadena, CA, US, and has been operated from that location as its principal base according to registry data. The aircraft carries a U.S. registration and typical registry records indicate operational certification consistent with business charter and corporate transport use.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin in this airframe is configured in a typical executive center-club layout commonly accommodating 8-10 passengers, with registry entries indicating up to 13 seats in some configurations; this allows flexibility between full executive comfort and higher-density corporate transport. Avionics fit is consistent with the Excel series, typically a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting modern IFR operations and integrated flight management for medium-range missions. Typical mission profiles for N1867M include domestic corporate hops, regional point-to-point charters and transcontinental sectors within its 1,847 nm range, operating from its South Pasadena base. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engine programs and airframe inspections customary for early-2000s Citation Excels in active service.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin room, runway performance and single-stage transcontinental capability. Competing models historically include other midsize light-to-medium business jets that emphasize cabin comfort and short-field capability. Buyer and charter demand for the Excel family has centered on operators seeking a roomy cabin with efficient operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for N1867M reflect age, engine program status and installed avionics such as the Typical Honeywell Primus 1000 fit.
