N690XL

The airframe bearing tail number N690XL is a 2007-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5690, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.). The aircraft is owned by LUKE OIL CO INC, a corporation registered in Hobart, IN, US, and appears on the U.S. registry under that corporate operator. There are no publicly recorded multiple ownership changes in the provided data; the registry lists this airframe with its current corporate owner and a market valuation reflecting its class and age. Valuation and condition notes place the airframe at approximately $6,200,000, consistent with mid-life Citation XLS examples when considering standard equipment and typical maintenance status for operator-owned corporate transport.

The airframe is configured with a typical executive cabin layout, commonly arranged for 8–9 passengers in club seating, although the registry lists up to 13 seats for this particular airframe; this dual characterization reflects common operator customization versus maximum certified seating. The avionics fit for the XLS series is typically a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS, though specific fitment for N690XL is not available in the public registry and therefore cannot be confirmed for this airframe. Operationally, the Citation XLS airframe like N690XL is frequently employed on corporate short- to mid-range point-to-point routes up to its ferry range of 1,989 nm at cruise speeds near 433 kts, operating from the owner’s base region around Hobart, IN, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow typical Pratt & Whitney PW545B engine inspection cycles and Citation XLS-series airframe checks as expected for a 2007-model corporate jet.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and regional performance with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise speeds around 433 kts. Competing models in its segment include later-model light-medium jets offering similar range and cabin size; buyer and charter demand for XLS airframes tends to emphasize reliability, operating cost, and interior condition. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2007-built airframe such as 560-5690 center on engine time and overhaul status of the PW545B engines and documented avionics fitment; market valuation for this listed example is approximately $6,200,000, reflecting typical depreciation and the XLS family’s sustained utility in corporate operations.
