Model & Market Context
The airframe N521BB is a 2022-built example of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6329, registered in the US. The aircraft is owned by BELL BANK, a corporation based in Fargo, ND, US, and the registration and ownership record place the operator/home base in Fargo. Acquired and registered to BELL BANK as a corporate transport, the airframe represents a recent-generation Citation XLS+ with a documented valuation of $13,500,000. Registry details indicate a standard corporate ownership profile and contemporary market valuation for a late-model airframe of this type.
The cabin of this Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ is configured for up to 13 seats, supporting corporate transport, shuttle, and charter missions typical for mid-size business jets. With a cruise speed of 440 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, N521BB is suited to regional transcontinental flights and efficient point-to-point corporate operations from its Fargo base. Avionics and specific interior fit are consistent with the XLS+ specification for 2022 production, providing modern flight-deck systems and a cabin optimized for short to mid‑long range executive transport. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines, each rated at 4,119 lbf, and typical fleet support practices for Textron-built Citation airframes.
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ fills the mid-size light-medium business jet niche, balancing cabin capacity for 13 passengers with a transcontinental range near 2,100 nm and a high‑altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models occupy adjacent segments, but the XLS+ is noted for its operational efficiency at cruise speeds around 440 kts and solid aftermarket demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2022 airframe center on engine support for the PW545C units and the prevailing market valuation, here noted at $13,500,000, indicative of late-model desirability.
