N255SM

This entry describes airframe N255SM, a 2015-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6194. The jet was manufactured by Textron Aviation (Cessna) and is registered in the United States. Ownership is recorded to CHARLIE SIERRA II LLC (an LLC based in Fairburn, GA, US), which appears as the current registered owner and operator for this airframe. Broker notes on the listing identify a factory interior and avionics fit consistent with XLS+ examples; no further historical registry transactions are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N255SM is described in broker materials as a factory eight-passenger club configuration with an additional one side-facing belted seat and an aft belted lavatory seat, producing a broker-described layout that seats up to 13 occupants when including belted ancillary positions. Avionics are noted as a typical XLS+ fit of Collins Pro Line 21, with a Rosen/Rosenview forward bulkhead display referenced in the broker listing; this combination supports regional corporate and charter mission avionics expectations. With a long-range capability of 2,100 nm and a cruise speed around 441 kts, the airframe is suited to transcontinental U.S. flights and short international hops from its home base in Fairburn, GA, under LLC operation. Maintenance considerations for this specific tail will follow typical PW545C engine programs and XLS+ scheduled checks as implied by equipment and role.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering a blend of cabin comfort and runway performance for owner-operators and charter operators. With the PW545C engines and Pro Line 21 avionics, examples like N255SM are competitive against contemporaries from Bombardier and Embraer in the short- to mid-range missions, providing cruise speeds and ceilings (up to 45,000 ft) typical of the class. Resale and marketability for this airframe will depend on maintenance records, refurbishment of the broker-described cabin layout, and engine program status, all standard considerations for XLS+ airframes in corporate and charter fleets.
