N51CU

This airframe, registered as N51CU, is a 2022-built Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel / XLS+), serial number 560-6321, listed on the U.S. registry. The FAA record for this registration shows an executive interior certified for 13 seats and the airframe is registered to UNITED BOTTLING MANAGEMENT COMPANY LLC, a corporation based in Birmingham, AL, US. As a relatively new example of the Citation Excel/XLS+ family, this aircraft carries an estimated market value of $13,500,000 and operates under U.S. registration for corporate transport. No further historical ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the current corporate registration are published in the provided data.

The aircraft is fitted in an executive layout consistent with a typical XLS+/Excel club arrangement and the FAA registry explicitly lists 13 seats for this registration. Avionics installation is the common fit for the model, Collins Pro Line 21, supporting typical corporate single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations and advanced flight management. With a maximum cruise near 441 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, this airframe is suited to domestic U.S. missions and short international hops, frequently used for point-to-point corporate transport from its operator’s base in Birmingham, Alabama. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engine schedules and the Excel/XLS+ airframe program, with serviceability and dispatch reliability key to corporate operations.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation Excel / XLS+) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort for up to 13 passengers with transcontinental-ish range of 2,100 nm and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in this performance and size band typically include variants of the Learjet, Embraer Phenom 300, and older light-cabin Citations; the XLS+ avionics and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C powerplants make it attractive to buyers seeking modern avionics and established support. For resale and charter marketplaces, the 2022 build year and the aircraft’s documented executive fit and U.S. registration support liquidity, while maintenance status and time-on-airframe/engines remain primary determinants of retained value.
