N560CS

This airframe, registration N560CS, is a 2001-built example of the Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560), serial number 560-0549. It is owned by PLATINUM FAITH LLC of Middletown, DE, US, and carries United States registration status (US). The airframe’s documented market valuation is $3,250,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and typical condition for a 2001 Model 560. Notable registry actions include its registration on the U.S. registry and its current ownership by PLATINUM FAITH LLC, with the operator/home base effectively centered in Middletown, Delaware.

The airframe is configured as an 8‑place executive cabin featuring a forward two‑place divan, a double club mid cabin, two aft forward‑facing seats, and a belted aft lavatory, providing a typical corporate transport layout for short to mid‑range missions. Avionics fit on this example includes a Honeywell Primus 1000 (UNS‑1/UNS1‑ESP) integrated flight deck supplemented by a Garmin GTN‑725 WAAS navigator, a Garmin GTX345 ADS‑B remote transponder, Honeywell Mark VII EGPWS and Honeywell TPU‑67A TCAS, a combination that supports IFR operations and modern airspace compliance. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on executive point‑to‑point trips within its 1,695 nm range at cruise speeds around 430 kts, operating from its owner’s base in Middletown, DE. Maintenance and operational considerations specific to this aircraft include age‑related airframe and engine lifecycle items for a 2001 build and avionics support for legacy Honeywell Primus 1000 systems augmented by Garmin WAAS capability.

As a Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) airframe, this example occupies the light‑to‑midsize turbofan business jet niche, combining twin PW530A turbofans with a high‑altitude capability to 45,000 ft and a cruise of 430 kts suitable for rapid regional transport. The documented value of $3,250,000 reflects secondary‑market pricing dynamics for early‑2000s production examples, where maintenance history, avionics retrosfits and engine cycles materially influence resale and charter demand. Buyers and operators evaluating this specific serial should weigh age‑related maintenance items and the installed avionics mix when considering operating economics and future resale.
