N594QS

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing registration N594QS, a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS built by Textron Aviation (Cessna) with manufacturer serial number 560-5697. The aircraft is held in corporate ownership by NetJets (operator/registrant association) and is associated with operations in the United States. As an individual airframe within a fractional ownership and charter fleet, it has the operational footprint and deployment patterns typical of NetJets-managed Citation XLS examples. No public build year or transaction history is published for this tail in the provided data.

The subject airframe is outfitted in a typical executive cabin configuration, listed as a 6–9 place executive layout (up to 10 in high-density seating) that supports the short- to mid-range corporate and charter missions for which the Citation XLS is commonly used. Avionics on this example are described as a Honeywell-based glass cockpit (Primus-derived on XLS examples), providing integrated flight management and systems monitoring aligned with modern business-jet operational requirements. Under corporate management by NetJets, the aircraft’s typical mission profile would consist of point-to-point domestic and transcontinental hops within its stated 1,858 nm range at cruise speeds near 441 kts, operating to and from regional business airports and major hubs. Maintenance considerations follow fleet standards for twin PW545B engines and Honeywell avionics common to XLS operators.

As a member of the Citation Excel/XLS family built by Textron Aviation (Cessna), this airframe occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, short-field capability, and efficient single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Competing models in the category typically include similarly sized light-medium jets that aim for strong runway performance and cost-effective operations. Demand from fractional ownership and charter operators remains steady for airframes with the PW545B powerplants and Honeywell-derived avionics, and maintenance or resale considerations commonly reference engine time, avionics standardization, and interior configuration—attributes noted in this aircraft’s specifications.
