Aircraft Sales and Parts

1. Can you depreciate your new Cessna and qualify for huge tax savings?

Aircraft owners who fly their aircraft in the course of business are entitled to depreciate the cost of the airplane on their tax return. Two types of special depreciation can be used so you can deduct a higher percentage of the cost of the airplane in the year of purchase. The special depreciation rules were created and updated in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks to stimulate the economy by encouraging the purchase of equipment by businesses. So make sure you are receiving all the benefits you can for your own business! Talk to your accountant today or ask us for the name of an Aviation Tax Specialist to help you properly structure your purchase.

2. Can you lease your airplane and earn money every time it flies?

New Skyhawk owners lease their planes to flight schools for one or more of the following reasons:

a. Reduce the cost of flying with revenue collected when the plane flies.

b. Engage in legitimate business activity and qualify for tax savings.

c. Operate a profitable business with multiple leased planes. Regardless of your motivation, we can help you locate the right plane and the right school to reach your goals.

3. Are you working on your Private or Instrument rating and plan complete soon?



When you become a new Cessna owner, we’ll pay for your flying lessons! If you’re working on your Private or Instrument rating, finish it up within 18 months of your purchase and your lessons are on us! We know that a good pilot is one who’s always learning.

4. Have you worked with the New Cessna Consultants at Suburban Aviation to design a plan to trade in and move up as your aviation skills and needs change?

Doesn’t it just make sense to learn in a Skyhawk, and move up to a Skylane or Stationair when your needs require seats, speed and elbow room? Wouldn’t it be great if someone would take your airplane back and trade it for a bigger, faster airplane as your needs change? Suppose you could even agree to a buy back rate before you purchase your airplane so you could calculate exactly how much your flying will cost?

That would be SMART, LOW-RISK buying. Owning the right airplane at the right time can save you thousands of dollars! Learn how you can advance to the right airplane to meet your changing flying lifestyle without losing money on your investment.

The Cessna Citation X is a medium-sized business jet built by the Cessna Aircraft Company of Wichita, Kansas. Several aircraft within the Citation family preceded it but is a completely new design not derived from a previous aircraft. The development of the airplane was first announced in October 1990, but a period of six years elapsed before the company could meet several specifications required to obtain certification. The first aircraft was delivered on June 1996.

The Citation X project was more likely a consequence of the overall image of the Citation family of corporate jets. For more than 20 years, the Citation line was known as well handling but slow aircraft. Cessna engineers emphasized practicality and good handling characteristics in detriment of cruise speed. Consequently, the Citation X broke the mold of the typical Citation jet when it became the fastest corporate jet in the world.

Despite the Citation family's traditional line of models, the Citation X is a completely new aircraft that incorporates a number of innovative design features. It is powered by two Rolls-Royce/Allison AE 3007C1 engines, which makes it the first Cessna aircraft to be powered by a Rolls-Royce engine. Due to the efficiency of these engines, a low-drag configuration, and its high-altitude envelope the Citation X burns the same amount of fuel at 0.9 Mach that its competitors burn at 0.8 Mach.

The Citation X has a top speed of 0.92 Mach, which at its normal flight altitude of 43,000 ft is about 525 knots. The length of the plane is 72.3 ft and the wingspan is 63.6 ft. The empty weight is 21,700 lb and the maximum takeoff weight is 36,100 lb. The range is about 3,300 nautical miles, which decreases as the Mach number increases towards the threshold. This is a typical compromise, but the Citation X surpasses most aircraft by setting the threshold higher at .82 Mach. This range makes it easy to travel between any two points in the United States. However, the number of transatlantic routes is limited and the X is incapable of achieving transpacific flights. The crew consists of 2 pilots and the aircraft can seat between 8 to 12 passengers.

The inclusion of powered controls in the Citation X is another premiere for Cessna. The controls are powered by dual-hydraulic systems for redundancy: there are two elevators, the tail plane is all-moving for trim, the rudder is in two pieces and each wing has five spoiler panels to be used both for roll control and as speed brakes.
An upgrade for all Citation Xs was announced by Cessna in October 2000 to be delivered two years later. The main features of this upgraded version are a 5% increase in thrust, a 400 lb increase in maximum take-off weight and improved Honeywell avionics.

The Citation X has changed the image of the Cessna Citation family.

The Cessna Citation Excel, Model 560XL, is a turbofan-powered small-to-medium sized business jet built by the Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas. Several jets in the Citation family, which includes the Excel, the Citation XLS, the Citation XLS+ and the Citation Sovereign, precede it. The Excel project was originally announced in October, 1994, and the prototype aircraft debuted on February 29, 1996.

Similarly to its main inspiration, the Citation X, which enjoyed great popularity by the time it was introduced in the market, the Citation Excel broke from the traditional image of the Citation line by using a new combination of technologies and designs. It represented a chance to hit the traditional Citation market with the new and revolutionary features introduced by the Citation X.

The basis of the Excel is a shortened Citation X fuselage combined with a modified unswept supercritical wing, a cruciform tail configuration and the new Pratt & Whitney Canada PW-545A series turbofans. This allowed the Excel to develop a maximum cruising speed of 429 knots.

Additional design features include a standard Honeywell Primus 1000 three 8 x 7in screen EFIS avionics package and trailing link main undercarriage units.

The Excel's maximum certificated altitude is 45,000 ft and its range at economical cruising speed with two pilots, four passengers and IFR reserves is 2,080 nm. It weights 11,910 lb empty and has a maximum takeoff weight of 20,000 lb. The fuselage has a 51ft 10in length, 55ft 10in wingspan, and a height of 17ft 3in. The Excel has several interior configurations with seating for up to 10 passengers in the main cabin.

The Citation XLS superseded the Excel, featuring the upgraded PW545B engines with increased performance. It was later upgraded to the XLS+, with the inclusion of FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Controls) engine controls and improved PW545C engines.

The Model 680 Citation Sovereign debuted in February, 2002, and featured FADEC equipped, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C turbofan engines. It surged to cover the need for a high-performance jet midway between the Excel/XLS size and the Citation X.

The Sovereign is flown by two pilots and can seat between 8-12 passengers. With a length of 63.6 ft, a wingspan of 63.2 ft and a height of 20.4 ft the Sovereign provides adequate room for a mid-sized business jet. It has a 17,700 lb empty weight and a 30,550 lb max takeoff weight. The Sovereign is able to develop a max speed of 458 knots and a range of 2,603 nautical miles, with a rate of climb of 3,571 ft/min and a service ceiling of 47,000 ft.

Cessna's mission of reinvigorating the Citation line is proceeding strongly. What started with the introduction of the Citation X continues with the Citation Excel.
