N583QS

This entry documents airframe N583QS, a 2008-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with manufacturer serial number 560-5812. The airframe was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States; it is owned by the corporation NETJETS SALES INC of Oklahoma City, OK, US. The aircraft is part of the fractional/charter fleet lineage associated with its owner and has been operated in that business aviation context since delivery. No additional registry actions or transfers are published in the supplied data.

This specific Citation XLS airframe features the model’s stand-up cabin and is typically fitted in a common fleet configuration with a 7–9 passenger executive layout, though the aircraft is certificated with seating for 13. Operated by NETJETS SALES INC, the platform is commonly deployed on regional and transcontinental business missions that exploit its cruise speed of 433 kts and maximum practical range of 1,847 nm. Avionics and interior fit are consistent with Citation XLS fleet standards for late-2000s builds, oriented toward short‑to‑medium‑haul charter and fractional flying. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin‑engine turbofan practices for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B installations, including scheduled engine inspections and airframe checks typical for high-utilization fleet aircraft.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies a niche between light and midsize business jets, offering a stand-up cabin and useful long‑cruise performance while maintaining efficient operating economics for fleet operators. With twin PW545B turbofans providing nearly 4,000 lbf each, the model competes with contemporaries in the midsize segment for fractional ownership and charter demand. Buyers and operators focus on dispatch reliability, maintenance history, and interior refurbishment status when assessing resale value; for fleet aircraft like N583QS, fleet maintenance records and operator provenance play a prominent role in marketability.
