Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N50EK, is a 2012-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6112 produced by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The FAA registry lists current ownership as LJ ASSOCIATES INC, a corporation based in Latrobe, PA, US, which is also the operator/home base for the aircraft.

The cabin of this airframe conforms to the typical executive club layout used in many Citation XLS+ examples, accommodating a 7–9 passenger executive configuration in practice while the FAA record lists the certificated maximum of 13 seats. Avionics fit for the model is typically the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which aligns with the standard mission avionics for XLS+ examples and supports domestic and international short-to-medium haul operations. With a cruise speed of 441 kts and an effective range of 1,858 nm, the aircraft is well suited to company shuttle missions, charter work, and executive transport from its base in Latrobe, PA. Maintenance considerations mirror typical PW545C-powered Citation XLS+ examples, with attention to engine shop visit cycles and Pro Line 21 avionics support.
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin size and single-stop regional capability; this airframe's performance figures—441 kts cruise, 45,000 ft ceiling, and 1,858 nm range—are representative of that role. Typical competitors in the segment include upgraded variants of the Learjet and Embraer Phenom/Legacy family aircraft, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating economics, cabin flexibility, and avionics capability such as the Collins Pro Line 21. For resale and maintenance, owners of PW545C-powered XLS+ airframes generally monitor component life-limited parts and avionics commonality to preserve marketability.
