N559HF

This entry describes airframe N559HF, a 2016-built Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS+) with serial number 560-6213, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by ALMOND CO (a corporation based in Madera, CA, US); acquired by the corporation and operated from Madera as the current owner/operator. Recorded valuation for this specific airframe is $9,000,000 and registry entries reflect standard U.S. registration actions associated with corporate-operated business jets.

The cabin of N559HF is configured to accommodate 13 seats, consistent with typical Citation XLS+ layouts that prioritize mixed passenger and light-cargo missions. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 21 in a common XLS+ configuration, supporting typical business-aviation navigation and communications needs. With a maximum practical range of 2,100 nm and a cruise speed near 441 kts, the aircraft is suited to regional and transcontinental point-to-point charters or corporate transport flights operated from Madera, CA, US. As a corporate-owned airframe, routine maintenance planning centers on the twin PW545C turbofans and the avionics suite to preserve dispatch reliability and residual value.

As a member of the Cessna 560XL/Citation XLS+ family produced by Textron Aviation Inc, N559HF occupies a performance niche balancing short-field capability, transcontinental range, and efficient cruise speed, exemplified by its 45,000 ft ceiling and 441 kts cruise. The platform commonly competes in the light-to-midsize business jet market where buyer and charter demand favors reliability, cabin flexibility, and moderate acquisition cost; the listed valuation of $9,000,000 for this 2016 airframe reflects those market factors. Maintenance and resale considerations for this unit focus on engine life-cycles of the PW545C pair and avionics currency of the Collins Pro Line 21 installation.
