Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N250AD is a 2002-built example of the Cessna 560 Citation Encore, serial number 560-0605. It is recorded as owned by WINGS AIR LLC, an LLC based in Jackson, TN, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s registry and ownership are notable in that this airframe is specifically associated with a single named corporate owner in Jackson, Tennessee, with no additional public ownership entries provided here. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

This specific Citation Encore, N250AD, carries a certification and seating capacity for 11 occupants, indicating a typical corporate light-jet cabin arrangement sized for short to medium-haul business transport. Operated from an owner base in Jackson, TN, US, its combination of 430 kts cruise speed and 1,760 nm range positions the airframe for regional missions across the continental United States without enroute refueling for most such trips. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe would be organized around its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A engines, each producing 3,400 lbf of thrust, and operations up to its service ceiling of 45,000 ft.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore represented by serial 560-0605 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche characterized by transcontinental regional capability and relatively high cruise speed for its class. With twin PW535A powerplants producing 3,400 lbf each, the airframe’s performance figures—430 kts cruise, 1,760 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling—define its operational envelope and resale comparatives. Buyer and charter demand for such an airframe typically focuses on operators seeking a balance of speed, range and passenger capacity; maintenance considerations concentrate on twin-engine acid tests and engine lifecycle management for the PW535A-equipped fleet.
