N300DA

The airframe bearing tail number N300DA is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with manufacturer's serial number 560-5270. Manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by the corporation Crete Carrier Corp, based in Lincoln, Nebraska. The aircraft’s documented configuration, range and performance suggest it has been operated in a corporate or charter role originating from the owner's home base in Lincoln; registration and ownership are held by Crete Carrier Corp. Valuation data lists the airframe at approximately $3,200,000, indicating a market position consistent with mature mid-size business jets of its vintage.

This specific Citation XLS (serial 560-5270) is consistent with the 560XL family’s typical cabin arrangements, which are commonly outfitted for corporate transport and short to medium-range business missions; exact seat count and interior configuration for this airframe are not published in the provided data. Avionics suites on 2002-built Citation XLS aircraft generally support regional and continental operations, and the performance figures—cruise speed of 429 kts and a range of 1,847 nm—support missions such as transcontinental hops within the continental United States and frequent point-to-point regional charters. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would align with mid-size turbofan twin practices, particularly attention to combined engine times on the two PW545A powerplants and compliance with manufacturer- and regulator-issued service bulletins.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the mid-size business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and short-field performance. Powered in this example by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines producing 3,952 lbf each, the model competes with contemporaries in the super-light to mid-size categories in terms of speed and range. Buyer and charter demand for early-2000s XLS airframes tends to focus on airframe condition, avionics upgrades, and engine life; the listed value of $3,200,000 reflects resale positioning where maintenance history and interior refurbishment significantly affect marketability.
