N672QS

This airframe, registered as N672QS, is a 2006-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel/XLS with serial number 560-5663. It is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC of Columbus, OH, US, and operates in the United States registry. The airframe’s documented configuration and operator linkage indicate a corporate fractional/operator role under the NetJets organization, with cabin counts reported variably by fit; valuation and current condition specifics are not published. Avionics fit is typical for Excel/XLS operators, reported as a Primus/Honeywell suite supplied by Honeywell.

The aircraft carries an operator-configured executive cabin layout with reported seating between 8–13 depending on interior fit; the NetJets configuration for this airframe shows the higher seat count on record. Cabin and mission fit reflect fractional and corporate transport missions—short- to medium-range executive travel, day trips and transcontinental hops within the stated 1,847 nm range. Avionics are described generically as the Honeywell/Primus suite typical of Excel/XLS operators, supporting standard IFR, navigation and situational functionality expected for 45,000 ft cruise operations. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe align with typical Citation Excel/XLS service practices under a corporate/fractional operator, including scheduled engine inspections for the two PW545B turbofans and operator-led interior reconfiguration to meet NetJets cabin standards.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel/XLS family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering short-field performance, a stand-up cabin and transcontinental capability through ranges in the 1,800–2,000 nm class. Competing models include similarly sized offerings from Learjet and Embraer in the same era; buyer demand for used Excel/XLS airframes often hinges on interior condition, engine cycles on Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545-series powerplants, and avionics maturity such as the Honeywell Primus suite. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2006 serial 560-5663 include typical airframe aging factors, life-limited component tracking, and potential interior refurbishment depending on the operator-configured seating and mission history.
