N560JW

The airframe bearing tail number N560JW is a 2001-built Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560), serial number 560-0560, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the United States to FMT AIRPLANE LLC, an LLC based in Mandeville, LA, US, and appears in registry summaries with an operator-specific 11-seat entry recorded in registry summaries. Routine registry activity reflects standard corporate ownership transfer and operator listings; no public accident history or major incident records are indicated in the supplied data. Valuation and detailed condition records are not published in the provided dataset.

This specific airframe is typically outfitted with a conventional executive cabin configuration for the Encore line—described as a typical executive 7–9 passenger layout (forward club, mid-cabin seating, belted aft lav)—while the registry for this operator records an 11-seat fit that reflects an operator-specific seating arrangement. Avionics fit for the type is commonly Honeywell Primus or Universal UNS-1C, though installations may vary by retrofit and operator preference; the supplied data lists these systems as typical for the model. Operational missions for N560JW would normally include short- to medium-range corporate transportation, small-group charter, and repositioning flights from its home base in Mandeville, LA, with performance allowing high-speed cruise and transregional range suitable for U.S. domestic and nearby international hops. Maintenance considerations follow the Encore 560 fleet norms, including monitoring of PW535A turbofan life-limited components and avionics retrofit paths.

The Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche with higher cruise speed and altitude capability than older Citation variants, offering a combination of short-field performance and transregional range. Competing models include later-generation light-to-midsize jets from Bombardier and Embraer; buyer and charter demand typically focuses on reliability, operating economics, and cabin flexibility. For resale and maintenance, the Encore’s value drivers are engine hours on Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A units, avionics configuration (Honeywell/UNS-1C vs. retrofit suites), and operator-documented seating and maintenance history as reflected in the registry for N560JW.
