N226SW

This airframe, registered as N226SW, is a 2021-built example of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+, serial number 560-6306, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The jet is owned by NICKLAUS LLC, an LLC based in Bristol, VA, US, and is registered in the US. Built to recent production standards for the XLS+ line, the airframe’s documented configuration and equipment reflect a factory-era fit typical of 2021 builds, with no additional public registry events published in the supplied data.

The cabin on this airframe corresponds with a typical executive layout commonly found on XLS+ examples, with an 8–9 passenger executive fit commonly installed, while the aircraft is certified for up to 13 seats; cabin approximate internal dimensions are about 18.5 ft long, 5.5 ft wide and 5.7 ft high. Avionics fit for this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21, a common factory or early retrofit suite for XLS+ models, supporting the aircraft’s business and charter mission profiles. With a 2,100 nm range and a cruise speed near 441 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and typical owner/operator regional point-to-point operations from its owner’s base in Bristol, VA, US. Maintenance and operational considerations follow the XLS+ standard twin-turbofan program associated with the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines.

As a member of the Citation Excel/XLS family, the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupied a mid-size business jet niche emphasizing short- to mid-range transcontinental capability combined with efficient runway performance. With a cruise of 441 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type competes with similar light-to-midsize executive jets; demand typically centers on owner-operators, charter fleets and corporate flight departments. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2021 airframe align with XLS+ norms, including engine programme status and avionics support for the Collins Pro Line 21 suite.
