N255RC

The airframe bearing registration N255RC is a Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) built in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 560-5554. It is registered in the US and held in corporate ownership by 255RC LLC, a corporation based in Atlanta, GA, US; this ownership constitutes the primary documented operator/home base relationship for the airframe. The aircraft’s factory pedigree ties it to Cessna (Textron Aviation) production for the Citation XLS line, and its market valuation is recorded at $6,000,000. No intervening registry actions or transfers beyond the named corporate ownership are published for this specific tail.

The subject airframe is typically outfitted to accommodate a conventional executive interior offering 8–13 executive seats arranged in club, forward, and rear-facing configurations, an enclosed aft lavatory, and a forward refreshment center, reflecting the standard Citation XLS interior fit. Avionics fit for XLS examples of this vintage is commonly the Honeywell Primus-class suite, which supports standard corporate and charter mission avionics requirements. With a cruise speed near 433 kts and a range of about 2,110 nm, the aircraft suits regional and transcontinental executive missions from its Atlanta base, operating within the fixed-wing multi-engine business jet category. Maintenance considerations follow typical Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 engine-line programs and Honeywell avionics support pathways consistent with fleet examples.

The Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) occupies a mid-size super-light to light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of cabin flexibility and short-field performance relative to competitors. Competing models in the same market bracket often include other mid-size corporate jets with similar ranges and cruise speeds; buyer and charter demand typically favors examples with well-documented ownership and contemporary avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect common factors for 2005-built XLS examples: continued engine-support availability for the PW545 family and market sensitivity to interior condition and avionics upgrades relative to the stated $6,000,000 valuation.
