N431CB

This airframe, N431CB, is a 2006-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5629. It is owned by CAMELLOT AVIATION II LLC, an LLC based in Emerald Isle, NC, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe is powered and configured as delivered for the midsize Citation XLS family and has been maintained in executive layout condition by its private operator. Registered and operated from Emerald Isle, North Carolina, under corporate ownership, the airframe reflects typical mission readiness and executive-fit condition for a mid-2000s Citation XLS.

The cabin of N431CB is certified for 13 seats, though it is commonly arranged in typical executive layouts of 8–9 seats featuring club seating and an enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics fit is operator-dependent and often includes installations from the Collins Pro Line family or an integrated flight deck, tailored to the operator’s mission profile. Typical missions for this airframe include short- to medium-haul corporate and charter operations within a roughly 2,100 nm radius at a cruise of about 441 kts and up to FL450; the configuration supports both high-utilization charter duty and private executive transport. Maintenance considerations follow standard Citation XLS schedules for the PW545B engines and airframe, with an emphasis on avionics modernization options driven by operator preferences.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS family occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for many continental missions with efficient twin PW545B powerplants and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its class include other light-to-midsize business jets that balance cabin comfort with runway performance and operating economics. Demand for well-maintained, mid-2000s XLS examples like N431CB typically comes from corporates and charter operators seeking proven reliability, while resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine cycles, avionics upgrades, and the completion condition (executive 8–9 seat fits versus full 13-seat certification).
