N497MN

The airframe bearing registration N497MN is a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ built in 2019 with serial number 560-6263. The aircraft is owned by HEAVENLY EXPRESS LLC, an LLC based in Winnetka, Illinois, United States, which appears as the primary operator and registry address for this airframe. The airframe carries a U.S. registration and is valued in contemporary market listings at approximately $9,500,000, reflecting a late-model Citation XLS+ with low-time systems typical of a 2019 build. No additional public record of prior owners or unusual registry actions is included in the supplied data.

The aircraft is reported to have a 7-place executive cabin layout installed in an operator-configured interior while retaining a certificated seating capacity of 13. Avionics fit is reported as Honeywell Primus 1000, a avionics suite common to several Citation variants and suitable for business-jet IFR operations. Typical missions for this airframe, given its 2,100 nm range and 441 kt cruise, would include short-to-medium-haul business travel and on-demand charter work out of its base in the U.S., with operational ceilings up to 45,000 ft permitting efficient high-altitude cruise. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe would follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engine programs and Honeywell avionics support pathways typical of operator-configured XLS+ interiors.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies a light midsize business jet niche offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance and operating economics; its 441 kt cruise and 2,100 nm range make it well-suited to domestic and transcontinental missions in the U.S. Primary competitors include light-midsize jets from Bombardier and Embraer offering similar payload-range characteristics. For buyers and charter operators, a 2019 airframe like N497MN presents advantages in reduced near-term avionics or interior retrofit need — particularly with a reported Honeywell Primus 1000 fit and an operator-configured executive cabin — while resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine program status for the PW545C engines and completion records for the seven-place executive layout.
