N574QS

This article documents airframe N574QS, a factory-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS completed in 2008 with serial number 560-5820. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, reflecting its placement within a large fractional and charter operator’s fleet structure. The listing information and registry entries identify the aircraft as an executive-configured airframe with a NetJets interior, and valuation notes place the airframe’s market worth at $5,795,000. No other transfer or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate ownership and US registration.

The cabin is described in sales and listing notes as an executive layout with reported configurations spanning nine to thirteen passengers; this specific NetJets-fleet airframe is noted in company configuration as 13 seats. Avionics fit for this airframe is dual UNS-1E (UNS-1Espw) units with WAAS/LPV capability, supporting modern approaches and situational awareness consistent with corporate flight operations. Typical missions for this airframe, given its range of 2,100 nm and cruise speed of 433 kts, include transcontinental and regional point-to-point corporate transport under fractional or charter scheduling from its Oklahoma City operator base. Maintenance considerations for a fleet aircraft of this type generally follow OEM and operator programs; here, the aircraft’s corporate ownership suggests adherence to managed maintenance and centralized records.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS sits in the light-to-mid-size business jet niche, offering a blend of short-field performance, efficient twin turbofan operation, and comfortable executive cabins. With engines specified as Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B units and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with other light midsize jets for fractional-ownership and charter customers. The quoted value of $5,795,000 reflects the airframe’s age, configuration, and operator pedigree; resale and demand for such fleet-owned aircraft tend to be influenced by maintenance history, avionics upgrades like WAAS/LPV, and interior condition.
