Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N560PS is a 2013-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6146, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by POWERSOUTH ENERGY COOPERATIVE, a corporation based in Andalusia, AL, US; this corporate ownership suggests use in utility, executive transport, or corporate shuttle roles. The aircraft's condition and market valuation are reflected in a listed value of $8,850,000, and its equipment fit is consistent with the typical XLS+ executive configuration as delivered in that model year. No other registry actions or ownership transfers are published in the supplied data.
The cabin of N560PS follows a typical executive executive layout for the platform, configured for 7–9 passenger club seating with a single divan, forward galley and an aft belted lavatory; the overall seat count is 13, allowing for mixed passenger and attendant/crew arrangements. Avionics are fitted to the typical XLS+ standard with Collins Pro Line 21, supporting the aircraft’s use on medium‑range corporate or charter missions. With a cruise speed of 431 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, operations for this airframe are well suited to regional and trans‑regional point‑to‑point flights from its Andalusia, Alabama operator base. Regular maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow manufacturer schedules for the PW545C engines and Pro Line 21 avionics, consistent with corporate/operator flight profiles.
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies a niche for light to midsize business jets that combine cabin comfort with strong runway and performance flexibility; the sample airframe N560PS reflects that balance with a 45,000 ft ceiling and high cruise speed. Competing models in this class typically include the Embraer Legacy 450/500 variants and certain Learjet or Dassault Falcon light types, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating economics, cabin layout, and avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this particular airframe are influenced by its corporate ownership, PW545C engine type, and the installed Collins Pro Line 21 suite, factors that typically support stable demand in the pre‑owned market.
