N560TE

This airframe, registered as N560TE, is a 2009-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6038. The jet is owned by UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE (a government entity) and is based in Knoxville, TN, US, where it operates under a US civil registration. Publicly available records specific to past registry transfers or major valuation changes for this airframe are Not published. Condition and valuation highlights for this individual airframe are Not published; current ownership by a governmental university suggests operation in support of institutional travel needs rather than commercial charter revenue generation.

Configured in a nine-passenger executive layout, this specific airframe features a forward right-hand two-place divan, a center four-place club arrangement, two aft forward-facing single seats, and a belted lavatory seat, supporting up to 13 occupants in a mixed divan/club/individual configuration. The avionics suite is a Collins Pro Line 21 fit with Dual FMS, Collins Adaptive Flight Displays, Collins TWR-850 weather radar, TCAS II, and Honeywell Mk V EGPWS, enabling modern situational awareness and IFR capability for institutional transport. Typical missions for this airframe, given its 1,847 nm range and cruise of 429 kts, would include regional to transcontinental day‑trip and overnight institutional travel from its home base in Knoxville, TN. Maintenance considerations align with the PW545C engine commonality and Pro Line 21 avionics support infrastructure; institutional operation often follows structured governmental maintenance programs and record-keeping.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, valued for cabin comfort, short-field performance, and efficient cruise near 429 kts with a service ceiling to 45,000 ft. Competing models include offerings from Embraer and Bombardier in the midsize/light-cabin class; buyers seeking reliable short‑to‑mid‑range institutional transport often favor the XLS+ for its combination of seating flexibility and balanced operating costs. Resale and maintenance considerations tend to focus on engine time on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C pair and the status of avionics upgrades to systems like the Collins Pro Line 21 when evaluating market competitiveness.
