N682QS

This entry covers airframe N682QS, a factory-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS completed in 2006 with serial number 560-5654. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by —and currently listed under— NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, reflecting its placement within a fractional/managed-ownership portfolio. Notable registry activity for this airframe centers on corporate ownership transfer and fleet assignment typical of large fractional operators; valuation records list a condition-adjusted market value of $4,650,000. The aircraft is cataloged as a fixed-wing multi engine category asset and carries the factory avionics suite commonly associated with this model.

The cabin of N682QS is configured for up to 13 seats, supporting short- to mid-range business and operator-repositioning missions within the aircraft’s 2,110 nm radius. Avionics fit is documented as the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite typical of the XLS line, though individual aircraft may have undergone avionics retrofits or updates consistent with corporate fleet modernization. Operationally, this airframe is suited to high-utilization roles common to fractional ownership operators, including frequent short-notice charters, multi-sector day trips, and repositioning flights from its corporate base in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Maintenance considerations reflect twin-PW545B engine care cycles and typical XLS airframe inspection intervals within a managed fleet.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of cabin capacity and single-shift cross-country capability at a cruise near 433 kts and a ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in the segment include other late-model midsize jets offering similar range and cabin layouts; buyer and charter demand frequently favors fleet-owned examples like N682QS due to predictable maintenance records and centralized operator support. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2006 manufacture date, corporate ownership by NETJETS SALES INC, and the ongoing service requirements of its PW545B engines.
