N529LL

This article describes airframe N529LL, a 2005-built Cessna Citation XLS (Model 560XL) with serial number 560-5557. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. The aircraft is recorded with typical corporate ownership and trustee arrangements rather than direct individual operation; its valuation is listed at $4,200,000, reflecting market position for mid-2000s large-cabin light business jets. The registry indicates a corporate owner and a certificate passenger limit of 13 seats, consistent with common passenger and operational paperwork for the model.

The on-board fit for N529LL reflects the XLS corporate configuration: an executive club seating arrangement with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory, described as a typical 7–9 passenger corporate layout while the registration and certificate list a 13-seat limit. Avionics are the Honeywell Primus-series typical for the XLS family, supporting common long-range corporate missions and single-pilot capable automation where configured to company standards. With a 2,110 nm range and 433 kt cruise speed, this airframe is well-suited to domestic and transcontinental charters, owner-operator transport, and shuttle flights between major business centers. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500-series engine programs and mid-life inspections consistent with a 2005 build year.

The Cessna Citation XLS (Model 560XL) occupies the light-large cabin segment offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance, and operating economics. Competing models during the mid-2000s included offerings from Bombardier and Embraer in similar mission bands; buyer demand tends to favor XLS airframes with well-documented maintenance and updated avionics. For resale and retention value, the presence of corporate trustee ownership, documented cabin executive fit, and factory Pratt & Whitney PW545B engines are positive indicators, while age (2005 build) suggests expected mid-life component refurbishment and inspection cycles.
