N254DR

The airframe bearing tail number N254DR is a 2002-built Cessna Cessna 560 Citation Encore, serial 560-0607, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is recorded as owned by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Sales listings and registry records indicate avionics work and equipment listings in support materials; the airframe carries a reported market value of $3,400,000. No other operators or transfers are published beyond the corporate ownership noted.

The cabin in N254DR is fitted in a 7‑passenger executive layout comprising a 4‑place club, dual aft forward‑facing seats, an aft single forward‑facing seat, a belted aft lavatory and an extended baggage tube, providing a mix of executive seating and enhanced baggage capacity. Avionics listed in sales records show a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite with Honeywell IFCS, supporting modern flight management and flight control functions for the type. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range of 1,736 nm, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short international hops and high‑speed domestic charters or corporate legs operating from the operator’s Kansas base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would focus on PW535A engine support and avionics updates aligned with the Primus/IFCS fit.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore belongs to the midsize Citation family, offering transcontinental capability in a light/midsize class with a high‑altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin PW535A powerplants. In the market it competes with light‑midsize business jets that balance speed, range and operating economy; buyers and charter operators prize the Encore for climb performance and short‑field capability. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status, avionics upgrades (notably the Honeywell Primus/IFCS fit), and completing records for corporate‑owned airframes such as DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC’s N254DR.
