N224JW

This entry covers airframe N224JW, a Cessna Citation XLS+ built by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.) in 2012 with manufacturer serial 560-6120. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by SOUTHERN MULTIFOODS INC, a corporation based in Jacksonville, TX; the registration and ownership record indicate the airframe has been operated from that home base since acquisition. The airframe is listed with a market valuation of $8,400,000, reflective of its model year, configuration and avionics fit. Category: fixed-wing multi-engine.

The cabin of N224JW is configured in a nine-seat layout: a four-place center club, a forward two-place divan, two forward-facing aft seats and one left-hand side-facing belted seat in the aft lav area, supporting mixed passenger and light-cargo flexibility. Avionics are fitted with a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting medium-haul corporate and charter operations with established flight-deck capability for RNAV/precision procedures. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 2,100 nm range and 441 kt cruise, include regional to trans-regional executive transport and high-utilization company shuttle duties from its Jacksonville, TX base. Maintenance considerations align with the PW545C engine program and Pro Line 21 avionics support, reflecting common parts and service networks for the Citation XLS+ fleet.

The Cessna Citation XLS+ occupies a midsize light-medium business jet niche, combining cabin comfort for nine passengers with trans-regional performance to 45,000 ft and over 2,000 nm range. Competing models in mission and price band include other super-light/midsize jets; buyer and charter demand typically favors airframes with modern avionics like Collins Pro Line 21 and factory-standard Pratt & Whitney Canada engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 2012 vintage, serial 560-6120, and the reported valuation of $8,400,000, with upkeep driven by engine, avionics and interior refurb cycles.
