Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N303CP, is a 2000-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore with serial number 560-0539. The jet is documented as owned by GC Air and carries a United States registration (US). The airframe’s provenance is concise in the available record: built in the year 2000 by the Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and later entering the U.S. registry as N303CP. There are no additional publicly listed operators or home-base details beyond the registered owner; ownership is currently recorded under GC Air in the U.S. registry.
The airframe is configured in a typical Citation Encore executive layout with a 7-passenger cabin arrangement, supporting light corporate transport and on-demand charter missions. Specific avionics fit and any unique cabin amenities for this particular airframe are not published in the supplied data; routine mission profiles for a 7-seat Encore typically focus on short- to medium-range point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s 1,970 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 419 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow the Encore type’s twin-engine Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A support and inspection intervals; however, no individualized maintenance history or condition notes for N303CP are provided.
The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche for buyers and operators seeking a short- to medium-range executive platform with transcontinental capability in favorable conditions. With two PW535A turbofan engines and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the Encore competes with contemporary light-cabin jets in charter and owner-operated markets where speed, climb performance, and operational economics matter. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will align with the Encore family’s market demand, parts support from Textron Aviation, and engine support from Pratt & Whitney Canada based on the aircraft’s year (2000) and serial (560-0539).
