N712AB

This entry describes airframe N712AB, a 2020-build Cessna Citation XLS+ bearing serial number 560-6297 and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by ARCBEST II INC, a corporate owner based in Fort Smith, AR, US; registration to ARCBEST II INC is the principal recorded change of custody. The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured with typical corporate ownership and an assessed market value of $11,595,000, reflecting its recent build year and equipment fit.

The airframe is a corporate-configured business jet with 13 seats, indicating a cabin layout suited for executive transport, short- to medium-haul missions and mixed passenger/cargo flexibility. Typical missions for this airframe profile include transcontinental and regional shuttles within the aircraft’s 2,100 nm range at a cruise speed near 441 kts, operating from its owner’s base in Fort Smith, AR, US. Avionics and specific cabin appointments are not published here, but as a 2020 Cessna Citation XLS+ the aircraft would be expected to match contemporary XLS+ fit standards; maintenance considerations align with twin‑engine turbofan civil business jets powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines.

The Cessna Citation XLS+ (560XL) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, valued for a balance of cabin capacity, runway performance and operating costs compared with competitors in its class. Competing types typically include other light/medium-cabin business jets which vie on range, speed and cabin dimensions; this airframe’s 13‑seat configuration and 45,000 ft ceiling make it suitable for corporate fleet operations and charter roles. From a resale and maintenance perspective, the 2020 build year and the engine type support favorable demand and predictable support logistics, factors reflected in the stated market valuation of $11,595,000.
