N26T

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N26T, a 2013-built Cessna 560XLS (Citation XLS+) manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) with serial 560-6133. The jet is registered in the US and is owned by BIRMINGHAM BRAVO LLC, an Alabama limited liability company based in Birmingham, AL. The airframe reflects the XLS+ configuration upgrade lineage in service since its 2013 build, and its corporate ownership indicates operation for charter or private executive transport from a Birmingham home base.

This airframe is typically fitted in a corporate executive interior, with a forward club/conference seating arrangement and an aft divan option, reflecting the common 8–13 passenger executive arrangements for the model. Avionics were updated to the Collins Pro Line 21 as part of the XLS+ upgrade path; earlier Excel/XLS examples used the Honeywell Primus family, so this airframe benefits from the enhanced flight-deck integration of the Pro Line 21. Normal missions for this configuration include short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter flights out of its Birmingham, AL base, taking advantage of the type’s high cruise speed and transcontinental range. Maintenance considerations follow the PW545C twin‑engine commonality and the XLS+ systems standardization, suitable for fleet operators or single-owner corporate programs.

The Cessna 560XLS (Citation XLS+) occupies the light-medium business jet niche with strong cruise speed and transcontinental capability relative to small-cabin competitors. Competing models include other light-medium jets that target eight- to thirteen‑seat executive missions; buyer demand trends favor XLS+ examples for their avionics and interior upgrades. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its 2013 build year, upgraded Pro Line 21 suite, and the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines, which influence operating costs and marketability in corporate and charter markets.
