N174JS

This entry covers airframe N174JS, a 2001-built Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) with manufacturer's serial number 560-0572. The airframe is owned by J R SIMPLOT CO, a Boise, Idaho-based corporation that operates the jet from its US registration. Registry details show the aircraft carries a United States registration and its reported market valuation is $3,500,000. Maintenance condition and specific ferry or refurbishment events are not published beyond the basic ownership and registry information.

The cabin in this airframe follows typical executive Citation Encore layouts, featuring a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory arranged around a 7–8 place club executive configuration within an 11-seat certification envelope. Avionics fit for examples of this model is commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, and this airframe is consistent with that typical fit. Operational use by the corporate owner in Boise, Idaho, would commonly include short- to medium-range interstate and regional missions well within the aircraft’s 1,710 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 427 kts. Maintenance considerations for this installation reflect the twin PW535A engine type and conservative high-altitude envelope to 45,000 ft, with standard corporate-operator practices expected for avionics and cabin systems upkeep.

The Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) occupies the light-to-mid-size turbofan business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than many older light jets while maintaining corporate-oriented cabin layouts. Competing models in the same mission class typically include other light-medium turbofan designs; buyers and charter operators value the Encore for its PW535A powerplants and range-speed balance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial ( 560-0572) are driven by engine program status, avionics standardization such as Honeywell Primus 1000, and the documented corporate ownership and usage profile.
