N43NC

The airframe bearing tail number N43NC is a 2005-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore, serial number 560-0685, registered in the United States. Since manufacture it has been owned by CITATION ENCORE LLC, a Nashville, Tennessee–based corporation, which is listed as the operator/home base for this airframe. There are no other public registry actions recorded in the supplied data; the aircraft is valued at $4,000,000, reflecting a mid‑life Encore in operational condition consistent with corporate use. Manufacturer attribution for this airframe is Cessna (Textron Aviation).

This individual Encore is outfitted in a typical seven‑place executive cabin arrangement within an 11‑seat certification, featuring mid‑cabin club seating, forward and aft‑facing seats, a belted lavatory seat, and a single enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics fit on this airframe is the common Collins Pro Line 21 suite for the Encore series, supporting advanced flight management and integrated systems monitoring appropriate to corporate and charter operations. With a long cruise speed of 419 kts and a maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is suited for regional to transcontinental executive missions and on‑demand charter work originating from its Nashville basing. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A service and Encore‑series inspection profiles as typical for a 2005 airframe in active corporate use.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies a light‑midsize business jet niche, offering improved climb, speed, and range over earlier Citation variants while retaining single‑pilot capability in many operator configurations. Competing models in the segment include later variants of the Citation family and light‑midsize twins from manufacturers such as Embraer and Bombardier; buyer and charter demand for Encores tends to favor operators seeking a balance of cabin comfort and efficient short‑to‑medium range performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2005 airframe center on engine shop visits for the PW535A engines, avionics support for Collins Pro Line 21 equipment, and airframe corrosion and interior refurbishment cycles typical for mid‑2000s business jets.
