N789KG

The airframe with tail number N789KG is a 2005-built Cessna business jet, serial 560-5538, registered in the United States. The production model is recorded as a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS, manufactured by Cessna and equipped for typical corporate transport roles. The aircraft is owned by RPS AIR LLC, an LLC based in Bucyrus, KS, US, and its current registry reflects that ownership. Valuation records indicate a market value of $5,500,000, with maintenance and equipment status consistent with active executive service.

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical executive configuration, described as a 7–9 place layout with a forward galley, club seating, and a belted lavatory, yielding a total certified seating count of 13 for various passenger/crew combinations. Operated from the owner’s base in Bucyrus, Kansas, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short- to medium-haul corporate and charter operations, exploiting a cruise speed of 433 kts and a range near 2,110 nm for nonstop regional runs. Avionics fit and specific outfitting are not published beyond the standard Citation XLS equipment baseline, and routine maintenance considerations center on twin PW545B engine support and airframe inspections typical of mid-2000s business jets. The registry entry and operator designation reflect ongoing civil operation rather than storage or dismantling.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and runway performance compared with peers. Competing models typically include other mid-size citational and light-medium jets that prioritize short-field capability and lower operating costs. Demand among owner-operators and charter companies favors airframes with comprehensive maintenance records and interior configurations like the forward galley and belted lavatory noted here. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2005 serial 560-5538 center on engine life, avionics updates, and the airframe’s valuation at approximately $5,500,000, with registry and ownership listed to RPS AIR LLC of Bucyrus, KS, US as a salient title detail.
