RADAR ESTIMATE

What N18JE 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 N18JE's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N18JE

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

Overview

This airframe, registered as N18JE, is a 1999-built Cessna Citation Excel (560XL), serial number 560-5020, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company. The airframe appears in U.S. civil registry with registration US and is registered to Holmes Aviation LLC of Munford, AL, reflecting corporate ownership and operation from that locale. No other public notable incidents or registry actions are recorded in the provided data.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is commonly outfitted in a typical 7-9 executive club cabin layout, although the FAA registry for this specific airframe lists 13 seats, indicating flexibility between executive and higher-capacity configurations. Typical avionics for Excel installations are the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, providing integrated flight management, navigation and weather/radar capability suited to business and charter missions. With a cruise speed of 423 kts and a range of 1,657 nm, this airframe is well suited to regional and transcontinental U.S. missions under corporate or LLC operation based in Munford, AL. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft align with mid-life Citation Excel schedules, including engine and avionics checks for its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A powerplants and Honeywell avionics fit.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, combining cabin comfort with solid short-to-mid-range performance and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in the segment typically include early-model Learjets and light-medium offerings from Bombardier and Embraer; buyers value the Excel for its roomy cabin and efficient ramp-to-ramp operating economics. Secondary-market considerations for a 1999 airframe such as 560-5020 include engine time, avionics modernization (even with Primus 1000 typical), and configuration flexibility between executive and higher-density seating, all of which influence resale and charter demand.
