Cessna 560XL Citation XLS twin engined jet aircraft. SCO 5243.
In 1993, Cessna decided to update the Citation V design, and announced the Citation Ultra, with the main differences being in the engines, 3045 lbs of thrust, which were the latest JT15D-5D version. and the standard avionics suite, which was updated to the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS glass cockpit. The Primus 1000 replaced the standard "round dial" flight instruments with three CRT computer screens, one for each pilot and one center mulifunction display. In 1994, the Ultra was named Flying magazine's "Best Business Jet". The Ultra was produced from 1994-1999. Both the Citation V and Ultra hold 5771 pounds of fuel. The UC-35A is the United States Army designation and UC-35C is the United States Marine Corps designation for the Citation Ultra, which replaced older versions of the C-12 Huron. Another version of the Model 560 is the OT-47B "Tracker", five of which were purchased by the Department of Defense for use in drug interdiction reconnaissance operations, based at Maxwell Air Force Base. The OT-47B utilizes the F-16's APG-66(V) fire control radar system and the WF-360TL imaging system. The OT-47Bs have been operated on loan to the Colombian Air Force and Peruvian Navy.
