Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History
- 1996First flight
- 1998FAA certification
- 1998 - Combinação inteligente de duas plataformas Citation
O Excel nasceu em 1998 da fusão de duas plataformas existentes: a fuselagem stand-up do Citation X encurtada e a asa supercrítica do Citation V Ultra. Essa estratégia de reuso reduziu drasticamente custos de desenvolvimento e tempo de certificação, permitindo entrega no preço de um light jet ampliado.
- 1998First deliveries
- 2000 - Frota NetJets construiu o sucesso comercial
A NetJets foi cliente de lançamento e chegou a operar mais de 100 Citation Excel/XLS no auge da expansão fractional dos anos 2000, tornando o tipo o midsize com maior número de horas voadas globalmente. Esse volume criou um ecossistema de manutenção, peças e pilotos que ainda sustenta o valor de mercado.
- 2004End of production

Estimativa preliminar, refinar com dados RAB-ANAC.
Citation Excel (Cessna 560XL, 1998-2006) é um dos midsize mais vendidos da história (480+ unidades). Frota BR estimada 8-12 aeronaves, perfil charter mid/upper-tier e holdings industriais. Concentração SP, com unidades RJ, MG, BA.
Diferencial chave: primeira cabine stand-up de verdade (1,73m altura) na faixa de preço midsize. Aviônica Honeywell Primus 1000 (dual FMS), motor PW545A, programa CSP (Cessna ServiceCenter Plus) cobre maintenance previsível. Operadores migraram em massa pro XLS+ quando saiu.
Mercado pre-owned: US$ 2-3.5M (1998-2006). Compete com Beechjet 400XP e Citation Sovereign primeiro lote no upgrade pre-owned.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Cabine stand-up rara no segmento light/midsize
Com 1,73m de altura interna, o Excel oferece cabine stand-up que era exclusiva de jatos super-midsize ou maiores na época. Passageiros de até 1,75m caminham sem se inclinar, vantagem decisiva contra concorrentes como Learjet 45 e Hawker 400XP que têm cabines menores.
Single-pilot eligible até 12.500 lb (limite FAR 23 antigo)
Embora normalmente operado em equipagem dupla, o Excel é certificado single-pilot, reduzindo CAPEX de operação e abrindo possibilidade de proprietário-piloto. Type rating CE-560XL é compartilhado com XLS, XLS+ e Ascend, facilitando upgrade de frota.
Limitations
Aviônica original Primus 1000 hoje desatualizada
O EFIS Honeywell Primus 1000 de fábrica é tela CRT pequena sem synthetic vision nativa. Compradores precisam orçar entre USD 250 mil e 600 mil em retrofit (Garmin GTN, ADS-B Out, RVSM updates) para missões internacionais ou padrões corporativos modernos.
Curiosities
Range encurtado vs Sovereign forçou criação do XLS
Operadores reclamavam que 1.858nm não fechava missões East Coast a Caribbean com IFR reserves. Em resposta, a Cessna criou em 2004 o XLS com motores PW545B mais potentes, alcançando 1.875nm com melhor hot-and-high. O Excel original foi descontinuado no mesmo ano.
