N686QS

This entry concerns airframe N686QS, a 2006-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5661. The airframe is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, which places the aircraft within a corporate fleet ownership structure rather than private individual ownership. The manufacturer's designation is Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.) and the airframe reflects the XLS-series production run of the mid-2000s. Public registry actions specific to this airframe are not published beyond its corporate ownership; no independent valuation or exceptional condition notes are provided in the supplied data.

The cabin of N686QS follows the typical 8–9 place executive club configuration with forward refreshment/galley, enclosed lavatory and belted seating, enabling customary business-aviation missions such as regional and transcontinental point-to-point charters within the aircraft’s stated range. Avionics fit is consistent with the XLS series and specified as Rockwell Collins / Collins Pro Line 21 (typical for XLS series), supporting advanced flight management, navigation and situational awareness for crew operations. As an airplane owned by a corporate fleet manager, the aircraft is most often operated for fractional ownership, corporate shuttle, and charter roles out of the owner’s operational bases; maintenance and operational scheduling will align with corporate fleet standards and centralized maintenance tracking. No unique cabin refit, special amenities or bespoke outfitting details are published for this airframe.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, balancing short-field performance and efficient cruise with a comfortable executive cabin; its 1,858 nm range and 441 kt cruise speed make it practical for domestic U.S. and nearby international missions. Typical competitors include other light-to-midsize jets offering similar cabin sizes and mission capability. In fleet ownership contexts like NETJETS SALES INC, demand is driven by fractional and charter markets where reliability, dispatch rates and maintenance documentation influence resale and lifecycle value; the Proven PW545B engines and Pro Line 21 avionics reflect common, well-supported systems within this segment.
