N365BU

The airframe bearing tail number N365BU is a 2008-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5757. Manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this specific airframe is owned by LEGACY USA LLC, a limited liability company located in Wilmington, DE, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded with a 13-seat configuration on the FAA registry, a notation that has influenced its operational certification and charter categorization. Current market valuation for this airframe is estimated at $6,300,000, reflecting its year, configuration, and typical equipment fit.

This airframe is registered with 13 seats in the FAA records but is commonly fitted in an 8–9 place executive layout featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory, a configuration that supports corporate and charter missions. The typical avionics fit for the Citation XLS is the Honeywell Primus 1000; many airframes, including those of this vintage, later receive avionics upgrades to modernize navigation, displays, and communications. With a cruise speed of 430 knots and a range of 2,110 nautical miles, the aircraft is routinely employed on short- to medium-range business routes operating from its owner’s home base in Wilmington, DE, US and similar regional hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B engines and the logbook status associated with an airframe of its model year.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies a performance niche as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet offering transcontinental capability within its range and a high-service ceiling of 45,000 feet. As a 2008 airframe with factory Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics typical of the series, prospective buyers and charter operators weigh upgrade costs against the listed market value of $6,300,000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine cycles on the PW545B powerplants, avionics modernization potential, and the flexibility afforded by its FAA-registered 13-seat certification versus the more common executive 8–9 seat layouts.
