Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N560VS is a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5066. It is listed on the U.S. registry and is registered to HILLABRAND HEIR LLC, an LLC based in Greenville, SC, US. The airframe retains its original manufacturer designation from Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and shows builder/maximum seating recorded in the FAA registry. Public records for this specific airframe identify the corporate owner and home base but do not record additional notable transactions in the supplied data.
This airframe is typically outfitted with a seven- to eight-seat executive cabin layout, while the FAA registry lists a builder/maximum capacity of 13 seats. The avionics fit for early Excel models is commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000, which is the typical configuration noted for this series and applicable to this airframe generation. Operated from a corporate base in Greenville, SC, the aircraft’s performance figures—cruise of 422 kts and range of 1,847 nm—support cross‑country business missions consistent with executive transport. The discrepancy between typical executive seating and the FAA‑listed maximum seating is an operational detail that can affect charter configuration, weight-and-balance planning, and regulatory compliance for different mission profiles.
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel, produced by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), combines the published cruise speed of 422 kts, a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, and long‑range capability of 1,847 nm for the airframe in question. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines rated at 3,952 lbf each, this airframe’s specification set places it within the business turbofan category represented by the XLS/Excel family. The difference between a typical executive interior and the FAA’s maximum seating entry can influence maintenance scope and resale or reconfiguration considerations specific to this serial number.
