RADAR ESTIMATE

What N864JS 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 N864JS's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N864JS

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

Overview

This entry documents airframe N864JS, a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5242. The airframe is operated and owned by JK Air LLC (an LLC based in Fayetteville, AR, US), and is registered in the US. Condition highlights reflect a typical mid-life business jet with continued airworthiness under corporate operation.

Operations & Cabin

This airframe, configured with 13 seats, is typically employed in the short- to medium-range corporate and charter missions consistent with the Citation Excel family. Cabin layout for the model series generally emphasizes a club seating arrangement and light-cargo capability, and this specific aircraft’s configuration supports mixed passenger and light freight roles for regional business travel originating from its base in Fayetteville, AR, US. Avionics and maintenance status are as recorded for a 2002 airframe operating under LLC ownership, with operator maintenance practices expected to follow standard Pratt & Whitney and Textron Aviation inspection intervals for the PW545B-equipped Citation Excel. Typical mission profiles for N864JS include coast-to-coast and regional transcontinental hops within its 1,847 nm range and cruise at 433 kts.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light midsize business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort and operating economics. With twin PW545B engines producing 3,991 lbf each, the model competes with contemporaries such as the Learjet 60XR and Hawker 800 series in charter and owner-operator markets.
