N245XL

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N245XL, a 2018-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6245. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc and is recorded in U.S. civil registration as operated under co-ownership by SIDELINE INC based in Tuscaloosa, AL, US. Notable registry details include its 2018 build year and current valuation at $11,300,000, with no public record in this dataset of prior owners or registry actions beyond the present co-ownership. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to the provided market value and certification details for passenger seating.

The aircraft is certified for 13 seats, though typical executive interiors for the type usually accommodate eight to nine passengers in more customary corporate layouts; this specific airframe retains that certification level. As noted in the registry data, the operator/home base association is with SIDELINE INC, co-ownership located in Tuscaloosa, AL, implying use in regional and intercity executive transport from that geographic area. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would leverage the aircraft’s near 2,000 nm range and 440 kt cruise speed for medium-haul business trips; no additional avionics or unique amenity specifics are provided in the dataset. Maintenance considerations are those common to the type and engine model, with the two PW545C turbofans providing the rated thrust and performance metrics listed.

The airframe belongs to the Citation XLS+ family, positioned in the light to midsize business jet segment where range, cabin flexibility, and operating economics are defining attributes. Competing models in this niche generally offer similar passenger counts and transregional range; buyer and charter demand for a 2018 XLS+ typically reflects interest in proven reliability and fleet commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial and year derive from the aircraft’s factory configuration, engine model (PW545C), and documented certification for up to 13 seats, all factors that influence marketability and lifecycle cost for prospective operators.
