N47EK

This entry covers airframe N47EK, a 2013-built business jet with manufacturer serial number 560-6147. The airframe was produced by Textron Aviation Inc as a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ and is registered in the US. Currently registered to L J ASSOCIATES INC, a corporation based in Latrobe, PA, US, this airframe is recorded as owned and operated from that location in public listings and valuation records. Recent market listings and valuation sources place the aircraft's estimated worth at $6,400,000, reflecting its configuration and year of manufacture.

The specific cabin of N47EK is configured in an executive layout typically accommodating eight to nine passengers, although the type certificate allows up to 13 seats for alternate configurations. Typical avionics fit for this airframe type is the Collins Pro Line 21, which is noted as the common installation in listings for similar Citation XLS+ examples; some public listings record specific fitment variations for individual airframes. Operationally, the aircraft’s range of 1,858 nm and cruise speed of 441 kts position it for short- to mid‑range executive missions, corporate point-to-point flights, and owner-operator use based from its home location in Latrobe, PA. Maintenance demands follow the twin-jet, business-cabin profile of the XLS+ family, with systems and engine type considerations consistent with the PW545C powerplants.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium corporate jet niche, offering a balance of short-field performance, cabin comfort in an executive layout, and efficient twin-engine cruise. Competitors in its market segment typically include other light-to-midsize business jets that prioritize similar mission ranges and cabin arrangements. For this specific airframe, year of manufacture (2013), installed powerplants (PW545C), and the common Collins Pro Line 21 avionics fit influence buyer and charter demand as well as maintenance and resale considerations; these factors underpin the recorded market valuation of $6,400,000.
