RESEARCH NOTES
About N1980M
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, registered as N1980M, is a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel built in 2003 with manufacturer serial 560-5289. It is registered to Maverick Aircraft Leasing LLC (an LLC) with a listed location of North Little Rock, AR, US, reflecting a leasing ownership model rather than direct private operation. Registry entries for this specific airframe note a certification status that includes 13 seats, and maintenance and operational records would typically follow leasing-company custodial practices. No public sale valuation is provided in the dataset; the most notable registry action in the available data is the explicit listing of a 13-seat certification despite typical executive interior fits.
Operations & Cabin
The aircraft is commonly equipped in a typical executive configuration offering 7-11 place club/sofa layouts, while the registration specifically lists 13 certified seats and allows for operator-specific fit variations. Avionics are fitted with Honeywell systems of the Primus-series commonly installed on Excel/XLS variants, supporting the aircraft’s regional business and charter mission profiles. With a cruise speed of 429 kts and a range of 1,847 nm, operations for this airframe are oriented toward medium-haul corporate travel and on-demand charter routes out of the owner’s base of record in North Little Rock, AR, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would focus on the twin PW545A engines and age-related airframe and avionics service given the 2003 build year.
Model & Market Context
As a member of the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family, this airframe occupies a mid-size business jet performance niche characterized by a high single-digit cruise speed in the 400+ kts range, nearly 1,850 nm mission capability, and a 45,000 ft ceiling. The combination of Honeywell Primus-series avionics and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A powerplants informs lifecycle maintenance and component support expectations for operators and lessors. Buyer and charter demand for this model type typically reflects interest in reliable regional business transport with flexible interior fit options, and resale or leasing considerations will weigh the airframe’s 2003 vintage alongside engine program status and avionics fit.
