Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N53UB, is a 2013-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6159. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by Columbia Bank, a corporate owner located in Lake Oswego, OR, US, and is typically associated with that corporate registry address. The aircraft carries a reported market valuation of $7,000,000 and is documented with a 13-seat certification in the registry; specific interior configuration details were not published. No public record of additional ownership transfers or major registry actions is provided in the supplied data.
The registry for N53UB indicates a 13-seat executive layout, though the exact internal arrangement and finish levels are not published. Avionics are described as Collins Pro Line 21 typical for the XLS+ model, with a noted pathway for a Garmin G5000 upgrade under STC or installation option, suggesting modernization potential for operator mission flexibility. With a 2,100 nm range and a 431-knot cruise profile, this airframe is suited to short- to mid-range corporate transport and charter missions from its listed operator base in Lake Oswego, OR, enabling regional U.S. hops or transcontinental legs with one fuel stop. Maintenance considerations follow the XLS+ platform norms, with corporate ownership often indicating dealer/Part 145-supported upkeep and records retention.
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ sits in the light-medium business jet category, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin comfort compared with older Citation Excel/ XLS models. With Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C powerplants and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the aircraft competes with models like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Learjet variants for owner-operators and charter operators seeking economy and performance. Typical market considerations for this specific 2013 airframe include lifecycle maintenance of the PW545C engines, avionics upgrade paths (such as G5000), and resale value alignment with the stated $7,000,000 valuation given interior specifics are not published.
