Model & Market Context

This entry covers airframe N579QS, a 2008-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5773. The airframe is owned by NETJETS SALES INC (a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US), and is U.S.-registered. Ownership by NETJETS SALES INC marks its use within the fractional/managed fleet sector and aligns the airframe with an operator that typically configures Citations for mixed club and forward/rear seating; no separate registry actions beyond standard U.S. registration are reported in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin for this specific airframe follows NetJets' configuration showing up to 13 seats with a mix of club and forward/rear seating, a forward galley, and an aft lavatory, deviating from the typical executive club layout of 8–10 seats. Avionics listed for the type include the Honeywell Primus 1000 as a typical XLS fit, with Pro Line 21 variants reported in some listings; the supplied data does not specify which avionics suite this exact airframe currently retains. Typical missions enabled by the aircraft's performance — a cruise of 433 kts and a range of 1,989 nm — are medium‑range corporate or fractional flights where higher seating capacity and onboard galley/lavatory support are priorities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect twin‑engine PW545B operations and fleet standardization under NETJETS ownership.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS airframe represented by N579QS sits in a performance niche defined by a near‑2,000 nm range, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft ceiling, offering operators a balance of speed and regional range. In owner/operator contexts like NETJETS SALES INC, the model is commonly adapted to mixed‑use interiors that prioritize passenger capacity and flexibility over lower‑seat executive layouts. Market and resale considerations for this airframe type typically hinge on engine (PW545B) hours, avionics fit (Primus 1000 vs. Pro Line 21), and interior configuration, all of which directly influence fractional fleet utility and secondary market appeal.
