N505WG

This entry covers airframe N505WG, a factory-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6356 manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. in 2024. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is documented as owned by 505WG LLC, a Delaware corporation based in Wilmington, DE. The airframe's modern build year and new-production status are reflected in a current estimated market value of $9,900,000. No additional registry events or prior owner transfers are published for this specific tail number.

The airframe is certificated for 13 seats but is typically outfitted in an executive club configuration for commercial and charter use, seating 7–9 passengers in a more comfortable layout. Avionics aboard this XLS+ variant are typically the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a common fit that supports regional charter operations and business mission profiles. With a maximum cruise near 433 kts and a range of 2,110 nm, the aircraft is well-suited to transregional point-to-point missions, frequent short international hops, and time-sensitive corporate travel from its operator base in Wilmington, DE. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe will reflect its new 2024 build status and original-equipment PW545C engines.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, blending short-field performance and efficient transregional capability with a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling. Typical competitors include other light-midsize cabin jets that aim at charter operators and corporate buyers seeking low-cycle, modern airframes. Demand in the charter market favors well-equipped XLS+ examples with Pro Line 21 avionics and recent build years, which support higher utilization and easier resale. For N505WG in particular, the 2024 manufacture date, PW545C engines, and established certification for 13 seats are positive resale and maintenance attributes influencing operator interest and lifecycle cost projections.
