N560VA

This entry covers airframe N560VA, a 2015-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6191. The aircraft is owned by the University of Virginia Foundation, a corporation based in Charlottesville, VA, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry details include its U.S. registration and an estimated market valuation of $10,000,000, reflecting a mid‑life XLS+ example configured for institutional operator use.

The interior of N560VA conforms to the Citation XLS+ family pattern, typically fitted in an executive arrangement for 8–9 passengers while retaining certification for seating up to 13. Avionics originally installed are Collins Pro Line 21, with a supplemental type certificate/service option for a Garmin G5000 upgrade, allowing the operator latitude in cockpit modernization. With a cruise speed of 431 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, the airframe is suited to medium‑range institutional transport and ad hoc charter missions from its home base in Charlottesville, Virginia. The twin PW545C engines and the airframe’s certification for up to 13 occupants inform both routine maintenance planning and interior reconfiguration options for university or foundation transport needs.

As a member of the Citation XLS+ family, N560VA occupies the midsize business jet niche defined by transcontinental short‑to‑medium range performance, moderate cruise speed, and a high service ceiling of 45,000 ft. The combination of the PW545C engines, Pro Line 21 avionics baseline and available G5000 upgrade positions this airframe for operators balancing refurbishment costs against capability. Market considerations for this specific airframe include institutional ownership profile, remaining useful life given the 2015 manufacture date, and resale dynamics tied to interior seating certification and avionics configuration.
