Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N315VE, is a 2008-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-5823. The aircraft is owned and operated by TANNEHILL AVIATION LLC and is based in Wichita Falls, TX, US, where it appears on the U.S. registry under a single LLC owner. The airframe’s certificated seating capacity versus typical cabin layout reflects the difference between regulatory capacity and operator fit; its market valuation is recorded at $6,400,000. No public record of multiple ownership transfers or unusual registry actions is provided beyond its current LLC ownership.
This specific Citation XLS+ is fitted in a typical executive eight-place cabin configuration with a forward galley, a mid-cabin four-place club, and aft forward-facing seats, although the FAA registry lists a certificated capacity of 14 seats. Avionics are of the XLS-series standard, typically a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting regional business missions and single-pilot or two-pilot operations common to the model. Operated from Wichita Falls, TX, US by TANNEHILL AVIATION LLC, its mission profile would commonly include short- to medium-range executive transport up to the listed 2,100 nm range and high-speed cruise at approximately 431 kts. Maintenance considerations follow the XLS+ family norms given its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B engines and Pro Line avionics architecture.
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for North American operators with a cruise of 431 kts and service ceiling to 45,000 ft. Competition typically comes from similarly sized light-medium jets with comparable range and speed; buyer and charter demand is driven by a balance of cabin comfort, operating economics, and dispatch flexibility. For this 2008 airframe, resale and maintenance considerations reflect its age, engine type (PW545B) and avionics fit (Collins Pro Line 21), all factors influencing valuation at $6,400,000.
