N355SM

This entry covers airframe N355SM, a 2020-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6290. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation FIFTH THIRD BANK NA of Cincinnati, OH, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe's manufactured pedigree is with Textron Aviation Inc, and its civil registry status and valuation have been documented at an estimated worth of $11,595,000. Registered in the United States and maintained as a corporate asset, the airframe presents as a late-model Citation XLS+ example in active corporate registry.

The cabin for N355SM is configured in an executive eight-passenger layout with a forward side-facing seat, a four-place forward club, two aft forward-facing seats and a belted lavatory, while the overall certified seating capacity is 13. Avionics are fitted with a Collins Pro Line 21 suite including FMS-3000, Mark V-A EGPWS with RAAS, TCAS, TAWS and EICAS, supporting IFR business and charter operations across continental routes. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range corporate transport missions up to its 1,858 nm range and high-speed cruise legs near 441 kts, with operational ceilings to 45,000 ft enabling efficient high-altitude routing. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on keeping the Pro Line 21 system and PW545C engines in current service status consistent with corporate use and bank ownership over its operational life.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ family occupies the light-medium business jet niche offering a balance of runway performance, cabin comfort and operating economics; N355SM exemplifies the 2020 production standard. Competitors in this segment include other light-to-midsize cabin jets that target corporate and charter buyers seeking short-to-medium international range with single-pilot optionality on some variants. Demand for late-model XLS+ airframes is driven by buyers valuing modern avionics fits like Collins Pro Line 21 and robust PW545-series engines; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its relatively recent 2020 manufacture, complete avionics suite and the documented corporate ownership.
