N560PP

This article covers the specific airframe bearing registration N560PP, a Cessna 560 Citation Encore built in 2005 with serial number 560-0687. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Encore Aviation LLC (corporate ownership; location not published), and it appears on the U.S. civil register under US registration. No additional public operator or home base information is published for this airframe, and there are no publicly noted registry actions beyond its current ownership; the airframe is valued at $3,500,000, reflecting typical market appraisal for its vintage and equipment condition.

The cabin of this specific Encore is fitted in a typical 7-place executive layout: a forward club four-place arrangement, two forward seats, and an aft belted lavatory seat, consistent with executive transport and on-demand charter missions. Avionics are the standard Encore fit of the Honeywell Primus 1000 / Honeywell 1000 integrated suite, supporting IFR long-range business operations and single-pilot capable procedures in many configurations. With a maximum cruise near 414 kts and a ferry/mission range of 1,710 nm, the airframe is typically deployed on regional to transcontinental point-to-point business flights rather than long-haul international services. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Encore-type practices, with particular attention to the PW535A engines and integrated avionics lifecycle.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light-to-mid-size super-light business jet niche, combining modest acquisition cost with solid cruise speed and high IFR ceiling performance up to 45,000 ft. Competing types in its class include other late-model single-pilot-capable light jets; demand is driven by owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient regional capability. For this 2005 airframe, resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status for the PW535A engines, avionics currency of the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, and the airframe’s recorded valuation of $3,500,000 in secondary markets.
