N560ZF

The airframe bearing tail number N560ZF is a 2004-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS (serial 560-5525) manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by N560LJ LLC, a corporation based in San Jose, CA, US, reflecting an ownership structure commonly used for corporate or charter operations. The aircraft carries a reported market value of $4,000,000; no further public registry actions or operational incidents are published in the supplied data. The airframe’s configuration and equipment reflect typical XLS-series fittings and are consistent with a business executive transport role.

The aircraft is typically outfitted in an executive configuration accommodating 8–13 passengers in a center-club seating arrangement with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, although the specific cabin fit varies by operator. Avionics installation for the XLS series on this airframe is typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting modern flight management and navigation capabilities appropriate to business and charter missions. With a range of 1,847 nm and cruise speed near 433 kts, the airframe is suited to short international and domestic point-to-point executive transport, corporate shuttle, and on-demand charter operations based from its owner’s home region. Maintenance and amenities will reflect operator-specific refit choices and the corporate ownership model noted for this registration.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies a light-medium business jet niche, offering cabin comfort and efficient performance within regional mission profiles. Powered by two PW545 engines rated at 3,991 lbf each, the type competes against other light-medium jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking a balance of speed, range, and cabin capacity. Market demand is influenced by configuration flexibility and avionics fit such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, while maintenance and resale considerations for a 2004 airframe like 560-5525 center on engine/airframe hours, refurbishment state, and documented ownership and maintenance history.
