N711LV

The airframe bearing tail number N711LV is a 2006-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5597. It is registered in the United States and was recorded as owned by the corporation NATIONAL EDUCATION LOAN NETWORK INC, based in Lincoln, NE, US; this corporate registration is a notable point in the aircraft’s administrative history and is presented here as registered to a Nebraska-based corporate owner. The airframe is a mid-production example of the model line and carries a published valuation of $6,700,000, reflecting its age and equipment fit. Condition highlights are consistent with an executive-configured airframe operated in corporate service.

The cabin of N711LV is outfitted with six premium executive seats plus a two-place side-facing divan opposite the entry door and a belted seat opposite the lavatory, creating a 13-place configuration optimized for short- to mid-range corporate missions. Finish work includes an extended forward galley, burl cabinetry and tan leather upholstery, indicating an interior spec geared to executive transport and passenger comfort. Avionics and communications fit are comprehensive for business operations: a Honeywell Primus 1000 Dual XS-852 integrated suite (Autopilot, Dual NV-850 Navs, UNS-1 ESP with LPV capability, Primus 880 weather radar, TCAS II, TAWS/EGPWS), supplemented by UniLink UL-701 datalink and AirCell SATCOM for inflight communications. Typical mission profiles for this fit would include point-to-point corporate travel within the aircraft’s 2,100 nm range at cruise speeds near 433 kts, operating from its owner/operator base in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability with runway performance and cabin comfort attractive to corporate operators. Competing models in the market target similar mission lengths and passenger capacities; resale and buyer demand are influenced by avionics suites and interior condition—areas where N711LV is well-specified. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect typical mid-2000s Citation XLS factors: engine and avionics lifecycle management for dual PW545B powerplants and refurbishment potential for the executive cabin, all weighed against a market value of roughly $6,700,000.
