Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N566F is a 2005-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5606. It is registered in the United States and is currently owned by Midwest Ethanol Transport LLC, an LLC based in Granite Falls, MN, US. Public records specific to prior owners, major incidents, or notable registry actions are Not published. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are Not published, though the airframe's equipment and age place it among mid-2000s midsize business jets with typical in-service considerations.
The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured and operated under US registry standards and, as owned by Midwest Ethanol Transport LLC, is based out of Granite Falls, MN for its operational and administrative home base. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft model include regional and transcontinental passenger or light cargo transfer within the aircraft’s approximately 2,100 nm range and high-speed cruise of about 433 kts, enabling point-to-point trips across the continental United States without intermediate stops on many routes. Cabin layout and exact seating count for this particular airframe are Not published, as are specific avionics fit details; standard Citation XLS examples are commonly outfitted for executive transport with a focus on short- to medium-haul efficiency. Maintenance considerations for a 2005 airframe of this type generally center on calendar- and cycle-based inspections, engine shop visit planning for the pair of PW545B powerplants, and upkeep of onboard systems to maintain certification and resale value.
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the midsize bizjet niche, offering a balance of range (around 2,100 nm), cruise speed (around 433 kts), and a 45,000 ft service ceiling suitable for efficient high-altitude routing. Competing models in the segment include other midsize turbofan business jets from legacy airframers; buyer and charter demand typically favors examples with modern avionics and well-documented maintenance histories. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2005 serial 560-5606 center on engine life limits for the twin PW545B engines, airframe hours and cycles, and any avionics upgrades that would affect charter eligibility and marketability.
