N678QS

The airframe bearing registration N678QS is a 2006-built example of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS, serial number 560-5616. The aircraft is recorded as owned by NetJets Sales Inc, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is maintained on the US civil registry (US). Notable administrative points for this airframe include its corporate ownership and placement within the NetJets sales fleet; the airframe carries a listed market value of $6,100,000, reflecting its age, specification and operator history. Documentation and valuation indicate a typical executive-condition Citation XLS example for its vintage.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical eight-place executive configuration with a center-club cabin layout, consistent with its role as a short- to medium-range business transport. Avionics are provided by the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting the navigation and systems required for high-altitude, high-speed business missions. With a maximum cruise near 441 kts and a published range of 1,858 nm, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and regional point-to-point travel profiles commonly flown by corporate and fractional ownership operators. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B engines, each producing 3,991 lbf, define the aircraft’s maintenance and operating considerations and are central to scheduled heavy maintenance planning for this airframe.

As a member of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS family, this airframe occupies the performance niche defined by a combination of moderate transcontinental range, high cruise speed and an eight-seat executive cabin. The mix of a center-club executive cabin, Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics and the PW545B powerplant contributes to steady buyer and charter demand for comparable role profiles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific unit are shaped by its 2006 build year, serial 560-5616, corporate ownership by NetJets Sales Inc, and the published valuation of $6,100,000, factors typically reviewed by buyers assessing life-cycle costs and entry-into-service readiness.
