Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N661QS is a 2007-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS, serial number 560-5677, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). This specific airframe is owned by NetJets Sales Inc, a corporate owner based in Columbus, OH, US, and is registered in the US. Registry actions and detailed valuation or recent condition reports are not published in the supplied data; ownership and basic identification details above are the primary documented facts for this airframe.
The airframe is furnished in a 13-seat NetJets fractional configuration, reflecting its deployment in shared-ownership or operator-managed mission profiles common to fractional fleets. Avionics fit is listed as Honeywell Primus 1000 (typical for XLS), which supports standard approach, navigation and crew workload capabilities for the Citation XLS platform. Typical operations for this configuration include short- to mid-range corporate and charter missions across continental routes within the aircraft’s 2,110 nm range and at cruise speeds near 422 kts, operating from the operator’s home base in Columbus, OH, US when assigned. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow type-specific schedules for the PW545B engines and the Citation XLS airframe systems under corporate fleet maintenance oversight.
As a member of the Citation XLS family, the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS combines light-medium business jet cabin capacity with transcontinental short-to-medium range capability, here demonstrated by a 45,000 ft ceiling and 2,110 nm range. The twin PW545B turbofans delivering 3,991 lbf each place it competitively against similar midsize jets in performance and operating envelope. Buyer and charter demand for examples in fractional fleet configuration tends to emphasize cabin flexibility and dispatch reliability; resale and maintenance considerations reflect airframe hours, engine cycles on the PW545B units, and avionics standardization such as the Honeywell Primus 1000 fit.
