N557PG

This article describes airframe N557PG, a 2003-built example of the Cessna 560 Citation Encore (CE-560) manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe carries manufacturer serial number 560-0557 and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to the corporation CO FIRE AVIATION LEASING INC, located in Fort Morgan, CO, US; the aircraft’s corporate ownership and home base inform its likely administrative and operational oversight. Registry entries for this airframe identify it as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet with an estimated market valuation of $3,500,000, and published records emphasize serial and registration provenance rather than multiple ownership transfers.

The airframe is configured with seating for 11, consistent with typical light-corporate Citation Encore interiors optimized for executive transport or small-group charter missions. Avionics fit for this serial is not published in the provided data; however, operation from a corporate owner based in Fort Morgan, CO, US indicates application in regional to continental missions within the aircraft’s 1,760 nm range and its typical cruise of 414 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the PW535A twin‑engine architecture and the Encore airframe pedigree, and corporate ownership suggests scheduled maintenance and regulatory compliance are managed through the owner’s organizational structure. The registration in the US and corporate ownership are the principal administrative notes on record for this airframe.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore (CE-560) family occupies the light‑to‑midsize business jet niche, offering a 45,000 ft capability and transregional range suited to owner/operators and charter operators. Competing models in the class typically include similarly sized light business jets from competing manufacturers; buyer interest is driven by operating economics, interior capacity, and avionics packages. For this serial (560-0557), market value near $3,500,000 places it within expected resale ranges for early‑2000s Encore examples, with maintenance status and avionics fit being principal determinants of final marketability.
