N564M

This airframe, registered as N564M, is a 2001-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore, serial number 560-0569, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by MENARD INC, a corporation based in Eau Claire, WI, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Ownership has remained with the corporate owner on file, with the airframe commonly documented as a corporate transport valued at $3,000,000. Registry records for this specific airframe indicate standard corporate operation and maintenance status consistent with light business jet service.

The airframe is configured to carry up to 11 passengers in a light-cabin business jet layout typical of Encore-series Citation Encores; the cabin is intended for short- to medium-range corporate travel. Avionics fit for this example is the commonly installed Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting typical single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations and modern navigation and communication capabilities for its class. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, given its 1,700 nm range and 430 kt cruise, include point-to-point regional corporate flights and on-demand charter work from its operator base in Eau Claire, WI, US. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin PW535A turbofan engines and factory systems, with attention to aging-series avionics upgrades when preserving resale value.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies a niche for owners seeking a light business jet with transregional capability, higher cruise speeds and an elevated service ceiling of 45,000 ft compared with older Citation variants. Competing models include contemporaries in the light-jet class offering similar range and speed, where buyers evaluate operating economics, avionics fit, and upgrade history. For resale and maintenance, this Encore-series airframe’s value near $3,000,000 reflects market demand for well-maintained, corporate-configured examples with conventional Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500-series propulsion and common avionics suites such as the Honeywell Primus 1000.
