N427MC

The airframe bearing tail number N427MC is a 2008-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore+, serial 560-0787, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to N427MC LLC of Bay City, Michigan, reflecting corporate ownership under an LLC structure. Present condition and market valuation are indicated at $8,273,000, a figure consistent with late-2000s Encore+ examples maintained to business-aviation standards. The airframe's documented configuration, equipment fit and corporate registration profile inform typical charter and owner-operator deployment patterns.

This specific airframe is fitted internally in a typical 7–8-place executive club layout with a belted lavatory seat and a forward galley, providing flexible seating for up to 11 occupants when the belted lavatory seat is used. Avionics are installed as the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting the Encore+ mission profile of short- to medium-haul corporate trips at high cruise speeds and flight levels. With a maximum cruise near 430 kts and an operational ceiling to 45,000 ft, the airframe is well suited to point-to-point business missions and light charter operations out of its Bay City, Michigan owner base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B program requirements and vendor-supported avionics inspection cycles typical for the Pro Line 21 fit.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and range than earlier Citation midsize designs while retaining single-aisle cabin practicality. Competing models in its era include other turbofan light-to-midsize business jets offering similar transcontinental capability and executive interiors. For owners and buyers, factors influencing maintenance and resale—reflected in the $8,273,000 valuation—include engine time on the two PW535B engines, avionics standardization on Collins Pro Line 21, and the corporate ownership structure exemplified by N427MC LLC.
