N610RS

The airframe bearing tail number N610RS is a 2002-built example of the Cessna 560 Citation Encore, manufacturer Cessna (Textron Aviation), with serial number 560-0610. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by RSC 1972 LLC (an LLC based in Valdosta, GA, US), which serves as the listed operator/home base contact for the type certificate and registry. This specific airframe carries a market indicated value of $3,400,000; registry records reflect standard US registration actions consistent with an in-service executive transport rather than notable historic events. The configuration and equipment reflect typical Encore installations and a contemporary maintenance standard for early-2000s Citation Encore airframes.

The cabin of N610RS is fitted in a typical executive layout, commonly a seven-place executive arrangement, and includes a belted aft lavatory plus approximately 71 cu ft of external baggage capacity. Avionics reflect the usual Encore fit with Honeywell Primus 1000 and Honeywell IFCS systems, supporting precision navigation and flight management typical of business-jet operations of this vintage. Operated from its owner’s base in Valdosta, GA, US, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short- to medium-range corporate and charter flights, leveraging the Encore’s cruise speed and range for regional hops and transcontinental legs with limited stops. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with Encore fleet norms, including support for the PW535A engines and avionics lifecycle items.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore occupies the light-to-midsize turbofan business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range, and operating economics well suited to owner-operators and charter fleets. With a maximum cruise near 414 knots and useful range around 1,760 nm, the type competes with contemporaries from Bombardier and Embraer in buyer and charter demand for regional executive transport. Market and resale considerations for a 2002 airframe such as 560-0610 include engine-time and avionics upgrade cycles (notably the Honeywell Primus 1000 era systems), structural and interior refurbishment status, and continued availability of support for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A powerplants.
