N509UP

This airframe, registered as N509UP, is a 2005-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) with serial number 560-5551. The aircraft is recorded as owned by WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC of New York, NY, US, and carries United States registration and operational oversight consistent with a corporate/charter operator based in New York. Registry information identifies the airframe and owner but does not disclose further historic operators or notable incidents in public data; valuation assessments list the type value for this specific example at $6,000,000. Maintenance and condition specifics are not published in the supplied dataset, though the valuation indicates a market-positioned airframe for light-cabin midsize corporate operations.

The subject aircraft is fitted with a typical executive cabin in an 8–9 passenger club layout that is operator-configurable; the supplied data notes a typical executive configuration but allows for operator-specific reconfiguration up to 13 seats. Its mission profile aligns with corporate shuttle and on-demand charter operations covering transcontinental and regional routings within a maximum range of 1,989 nm at an efficient cruise of 433 kt. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A powerplants, each rated at 3,804 lbf, support a certified service ceiling of 45,000 ft and enable rapid climb and cruise performance suitable for high-utilization charter fleets. Specific avionics fit, interior finish level, and recent maintenance status are not published in the provided dataset.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS family, a light to midsize business jet class that targets operators needing short-field performance combined with transcontinental capability and a stand-up cabin. Competing models in the same mission niche include light-midsize jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Bombardier; fleet demand typically favors well-maintained examples with updated avionics and interiors. Resale and upkeep considerations for this model class center on engine and APU shop visits, airframe refurbishment cycles, and records completeness; the reported value of $6,000,000 places this particular airframe within the used-market segment for mid-2000s XLS examples.
