N507PD

This airframe, registered as N507PD, is a 2002-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore with serial number 560-0596. The aircraft is owned by GR AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Saint Louis, MO, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe’s documentation and registry status reflect its continued operation under corporate ownership, and industry valuation for this specific example is listed at $4,500,000. Acquisition by GR AVIATION LLC represents the most recent documented ownership event for this airframe.

The airframe is configured to accommodate 11 seats, aligning with the Citation Encore’s role as a light corporate transport capable of short to mid‑range missions. With a maximum cruise of 428 kts and a range of 1,970 nm, this specific aircraft is well suited to regional and cross‑country point‑to‑point missions operated from its Saint Louis base. Its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines, each producing 3,952 lbf, define routine maintenance flows and operational performance parameters that influence deployment profiles and scheduling. Operator records tied to N507PD indicate corporate usage patterns typical for fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jets in U.S. registry.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), occupies the light business jet niche with a balance of speed, range, and airport access suitable for owner‑operators and charter operators. With cruise and ceiling performance such as 428 kts and 45,000 ft, the type competes with contemporaries in the light‑jet segment, where factors like engine maintenance cycles for the PW545A and documented value—here $4,500,000—inform buyer and charter demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial—560-0596—are driven by airframe age (2002), engine type, and documented corporate ownership, which typically support steady demand in the pre‑owned market for mission‑capable light jets.
