N230DF

This airframe, registered as N230DF, is a 2010-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6054. The aircraft is registered in the United States to VECTOR DESIGN CORP LLC, a corporation based in Jeffersonville, Indiana, which appears as the listed owner and operator/home base in public registry data. The FAA registry for this airframe records a 13-seat configuration for this specific airframe, while typical executive interiors for the model are commonly arranged for 7–9 passengers. The airframe's estimated market valuation is $8,000,000, reflecting a 2010 vintage XLS+ in active corporate service.

This specific Citation XLS+ carries a typical executive cabin layout in operator practice, which for the type is commonly configured for 7–9 pax, though the registry for this airframe lists 13 seats—indicating a higher-density or alternate certification arrangement for the interior. The aircraft is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, supporting corporate single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations over medium-haul routes. Typical missions for this airframe include business charters and corporate transport within the aircraft’s transcontinental-medium range, leveraging a 2,100 nm range and a 441-knot cruise to serve coast-to-coast and regional international sectors. As a corporate-registered aircraft based in Jeffersonville, IN, maintenance considerations follow typical Textron service intervals for the PW545C engines and Pro Line avionics lifecycle programs.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, blending short-field performance with transcontinental range and a pressurized cabin ceiling to 45,000 ft. Competing models include late-model versions of the Embraer Legacy 450/500 family and heavier Citation variants; buyer demand generally favors clean maintenance records, avionics updates, and interior refurbishment. For resale and charter operators, considerations for this airframe include PW545C engine time/overhaul status, Collins Pro Line 21 avionics currency, and the impact of a 13-seat registry on insurance and charter certification versus a standard 7–9 seat executive fit.
