The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Cessna 560 Citation V, Ultra, Encore and Excel family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N870JS, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Fe Xls 6200 LLC, an LLC, certificate issued April 2, 2026, expires April 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 560-6200 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N870JS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Raytheon Aircraft Company HAWKER 800XP (serial 258548, cancelled August 18, 2020). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N870JS. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
