N524DP

The airframe bearing tail number N524DP is a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS (Citation 560XL/XLS) built in 2004 with serial number 560-5526. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US; this ownership represents the primary recorded operator history for the airframe. Registered to DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, the airframe’s documented valuation is $4,000,000, reflecting its configuration and year of manufacture. The aircraft sits in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and retains its original factory model lineage as manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation).

This specific Citation XLS airframe is configured with seating for 13, consistent with high-density executive or short-haul charter layouts typical for the model; cabin arrangements on this serial may prioritize a mix of club seating and divans for corporate shuttle missions. Avionics and fitment are consistent with the Citation 560XL/XLS family, enabling efficient short- to medium-range operations within the aircraft’s 1,858 nm range and a cruise speed near 429 kts, supporting regional transcontinental hops and point-to-point executive transport. Based in Rantoul, KS, the owner/operator profile suggests the aircraft may be employed for parts support, corporate transport, or repositioning flights tied to the owner’s business operations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow PW545-series engine programs and Citation 560XL structural/avionics schedules reflective of its 2004 manufacture date.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin capacity and runway performance; with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and PW545 powerplants producing 3,991 lbf each, it competes with models offering similar speed and range. Typical market comparisons include light midsize jets and older mid-size citations, with buyer demand driven by cabin volume, operating costs, and availability of parts and maintenance support. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial will hinge on logbook completeness, engine cycles on the PW545-series units, and the airframe’s end-of-life component status relative to the documented $4,000,000 valuation.
