N189WT

This airframe, registered as N189WT, is a Cessna 560 Citation Encore built in 2002 with serial number 560-0613. It is currently registered and operated by WP AVIATION LLC (Grove City, OH, US) and carries a United States civil registration (US). The airframe has been appraised at $3,504,936, reflecting its age, systems fit and typical market condition for early-2000s light midsize business jets. Registry history is straightforward with no public record of multiple owner transfers in the supplied data; maintenance and valuation considerations are based on its Pratt & Whitney Canada engine type and typical Encore systems.

The specific cabin in the documented configuration is a typical seven-place executive club layout with an aft belted lavatory, though interior configuration may vary with refits. Avionics on this airframe follow the common Encore installation: Honeywell Primus family avionics (Primus 1000) paired with a Universal UNS-1C FMS, providing a conventional avionics suite for precision navigation and crew situational awareness. Typical missions for this platform configured as described include intercity corporate flights, on-demand charter trips and owner-flown business missions within the transcontinental range envelope, operated from its Grove City, Ohio base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will focus on PW535A engine cycles, avionics updates to modern standards if desired, and interior refreshes when repositioning for charter or sale.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore sits in the light midsize business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than many entry-level light jets while retaining relatively modest operating costs compared with larger cabin types. Competing models in the era and market segment include later Citation variants and light midsize offerings from Gulfstream and Embraer family derivatives, adjusted for mission needs. Buyer and charter demand historically centers on reliable short- to mid-range point-to-point capability; resale considerations for this specific airframe hinge on engine TBO status, avionics currency, interior condition and remaining certified life items.
