N693QS

The airframe bearing registration N693QS is a 2006-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with manufacturer's serial number 560-5657. The aircraft is owned by NetJets Sales Inc, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US civil aircraft registry. Registered to NetJets Sales Inc, this airframe has the lineage typical of fractional and corporate fleets; public appraisal or condition summaries have not been disclosed. Notable registry actions are limited to the recorded corporate ownership; further historic transfers or liens are not published.

The interior conforms to an executive layout typical of the XLS-era airframes, featuring an executive 7–9 place club configuration with a forward refreshment center and aft lavatory; the completed fitment for this airframe is an 8-seat executive arrangement. Avionics are the Honeywell integrated suites commonly installed in the Excel/XLS family, providing consolidated flight management, navigation and systems integration suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator policy. Operated by a corporate fractional/charter entity, the airframe’s mission profiles emphasize short- to medium-range business trips within the continental United States and transcontinental legs near its published 1,847 nm ferry capability. Maintenance considerations follow Textron/Cessna recommended programs for the 560XL series and the PW545A engine family, reflecting fleet-standard inspections and component overhauls under corporate operator practices.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering speed, cabin comfort and runway performance attractive to corporate and fractional owners. With a cruise near 429 kts and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the model competes with contemporaries from Learjet and Embraer in missions requiring efficient short-field performance and executive cabin utility. For buyers and operators, resale and maintenance considerations focus on cumulative cycles, engine module hours on the PW545A powerplants, and the condition of premium interior fittings; corporate-owned examples such as N693QS typically follow structured maintenance records that support fractional operation and remarketing.
