N130WE

This entry covers airframe N130WE, a 2015-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6196. The airframe is owned by Wells Enterprises Inc (a corporation based in Iowa, US) and is registered in the United States. As a factory-built 2015 example of the XL/XLS+ derivative, this airframe's registry reflects corporate operation from its home state; valuation records place the aircraft at approximately $10,000,000, consistent with late-model Citation XLS+ market assessments. Notable administrative points for this specific airframe include its continued corporate ownership and US registration since manufacture.

This airframe, as a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+, is typically configured for short- to mid-range corporate and charter missions out of its operator base in Iowa, US. The Citation XLS+ platform normally offers a pressurized cabin sized for light business jet operations with flexible seating arrangements and a focus on passenger comfort over regional distances; this specific airframe is expected to follow that convention. Avionics fits on factory 2015 XLS+ examples commonly include modern integrated flight decks suitable for single- and two-pilot IFR operations, supporting missions that utilize the aircraft’s 2,100 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin PW545C engine cycles and corporate program scheduling typical of fixed-wing multi-engine fleet aircraft.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies a niche in the light-medium business jet category, delivering higher cruise speeds and cabin comfort than earlier Citation models while retaining lower operating costs than larger midsize jets. Competitors include other light-midsize business jets offering similar range and cruise performance. For this 2015 serial 560-6196, buyer and charter demand is influenced by the aircraft’s age, twin PW545C engine supportability, and its noted valuation of $10,000,000, factors that are central to maintenance planning and resale considerations.
