N717NB

The aircraft bearing registration N717NB is a 2007-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5694, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is owned by MCKENZIE BRIDGE LAND CO LLC, a corporation based in Bakersfield, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s market valuation is listed at $6,500,000, reflecting typical mid-life value for a 2007 Citation XLS in the corporate/executive transport sector. No additional public registry incidents or notable transactions are published beyond the current corporate ownership and registration details.

This airframe is typically outfitted in a standard executive cabin with a 4-place club configuration and variations of forward and rear seating; it is commonly configured for 7–9 pax in executive interiors while certified up to 13 seats for higher-density operations. The installed avionics conform to typical XLS equipment, originally delivered with Honeywell Primus suites with many aircraft in the type fleet having received in-service upgrades to Honeywell variations. Mission profiles for this Citation XLS airframe center on short- to mid-range executive transport, corporate shuttles and on-demand charter flights consistent with its 1,858 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life PW545B engine program needs and typical Citation XLS airframe inspections; the corporate ownership suggests operation under private/operator maintenance programs based out of Bakersfield, CA.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the light-medium cabin business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and cabin comfort than many entry-level light jets while retaining lower operating costs than larger midsize types. Competing models in its era include other light-to-midsize business jets that emphasize short-field performance and efficient cruise, contributing to steady buyer and charter demand for well-maintained XLS airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2007 airframe like 560-5694 focus on avionics upgrade status, engine time on wing for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B units and completion of recommended inspections—factors that materially affect marketability relative to the $6,500,000 valuation.
