N430AM

The airframe bearing tail number N430AM is a 2000-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore, serial number 560-0542, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Venture Aviation Group LLC, a corporation based in Greenville, SC; this ownership is the principal recorded operator/home base association for the type certificate. Notable registry actions for this specific airframe are limited in the provided data; the entry reflects current ownership and a market valuation estimate rather than an extensive transactional history. The aircraft is valued at $3,341,574, a figure reflective of its configuration, age and market comparables for the model year 2000 Encore.

The cabin of this specific Encore is fitted in a typical seven–eight passenger executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory, consistent with the common Encore configuration for corporate use. Operator base information aligns with ownership in Greenville, SC, suggesting missions commonly flown from that region; typical route profiles for this airframe match light-to-midsize business-jet roles such as regional point-to-point charters or corporate transport within the aircraft’s approximately 1,970 nm range at cruise speeds near 430 kts. Avionics fit and specific modification or maintenance records for this serial are not published in the supplied dataset; maintenance considerations therefore default to standard Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A engine support and Encore airframe programs. Cabin amenities are the standard executive layout noted, with an enclosed lavatory and forward refreshment center supporting typical executive missions.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and range improvements over prior Citation models while remaining competitive against contemporary light-cabin twins. With twin PW535A engines producing 3,400 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the Encore family is positioned for efficient regional and transregional missions. Buyer and charter demand for a 2000-model Encore like N430AM is influenced by its age, configuration (7–8 passenger executive club), engine type, and current valuation of $3,341,574, all factors that also affect maintenance and resale considerations in the pre-owned business jet market.
