N565QS

This airframe, registered as N565QS, is a 2008-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with manufacturer serial number 560-5818. The airframe is recorded on the U.S. registry and is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate owner based in Columbus, OH, US; this ownership is the principal corporate custodian listed for the type. The airframe’s condition and valuation have been assessed in the market at approximately $6,000,000, reflecting its configuration and operator maintenance history. As a NetJets-configured asset, it carries the operator-configured executive cabin and may have been maintained to fractional ownership standards under its corporate stewardship.

The cabin of this specific airframe is fitted in an operator-configured executive layout consistent with NetJets configuration practices: a forward galley, mid-cabin club seating, and a belted lavatory are typical arrangements, while the registry lists a higher-seat-count layout of 13 seats. Avionics aboard are representative of the XLS-era Honeywell Primus/UNS‑1 architecture with dual FMS and WAAS/LPV capability, although the exact installed fit may vary by operator and delivery modifications. Typical missions for this airframe under its corporate operator profile include short- to mid-range executive transport across domestic and transcontinental sectors within the aircraft’s 2,100 nm range at cruise speeds near 422 kts, operating to flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance and operational oversight would align with fractional/operator standards given the NetJets ownership and corporate registry.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies a light-medium business jet niche combining runway performance, cabin comfort, and efficient short- to mid-range capabilities. With twin PW545B powerplants and a cruise of 422 kts, it competes with contemporaries in the XLS class for charter, fractional ownership, and corporate transport. Market demand for late-2000s XLS airframes is influenced by operator configuration, avionics fit, and maintenance provenance; this airframe’s corporate NetJets ownership and documented valuation of $6,000,000 are significant resale and operational considerations for buyers and lessors.
