N718QQ

This entry covers airframe N718QQ, a 2016-built Cessna Citation XLS+ (560XL) with serial number 560-6222. The aircraft is owned by EXCEL AVIATION LLC and is registered in the United States; the owner’s recorded location is Saint Clairsville, OH, US. The airframe’s equipment and paperwork reflect a business-executive configuration and an active U.S. registry; listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $8,450,000. Maintenance and documentation status are indicated by its certified seating count on the FAA certificate versus the cabin capacity listed in sales/marketing materials.

The cabin is described in listing material as a typical executive layout with 6 pedestal seats in single club + right-hand 2-place side-facing couch; forward galley; aft lavatory; the listing notes a capacity of 9 passengers while the FAA certificate records 13 seats, a discrepancy relevant for commercial carriage, insurance and operational planning. Avionics fit for this airframe includes Collins Pro Line 21 with dual comm/nav/DME, FMS-3000, TCAS II, Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, Collins TWR-850 weather radar and ADS-B out, supporting enroute, terminal and surveillance airspace operations. Based at the owner’s Saint Clairsville, Ohio location, the aircraft’s 2,100 nm range and 441 kt cruise make it suitable for regional to transcontinental executive transport and on-demand charter missions within U.S. and near-offshore markets. Engine and avionics commonality with fleet standards can simplify maintenance planning and parts provisioning.

As a Cessna Citation XLS+ (560XL) airframe, N718QQ embodies the family’s blend of mid-range speed, single-pilot-capable systems and cabin-focused executive fit. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, cruise of 441 kts and a listed value of $8,450,000, the airframe competes in the light-to-mid-size business jet segment where buyer and charter demand emphasizes range, cabin utility and avionics capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include PW545C engine support, Pro Line 21 avionics maintenance, and documentation reconciliation between listed cabin capacity and the FAA-certified seating.
