N804CV

The airframe bearing tail number N804CV is a 2008-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore Plus, serial 560-0804, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is registered to PLASTIC INGENUITY INC, a corporation based in Cross Plains, WI, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the type as recorded in the registry. Notable registry details include the listed seating capacity of 11 despite the typical executive interior fit for the model; the airframe carries an assessed market value of $8,273,000 and is maintained in line with corporate operational requirements.

The airframe is configured with an executive cabin layout consistent with the Encore Plus family, typically accommodating 7–9 passengers in an executive seating plan although the registry lists 11 seats; this reflects flexibility between corporate shuttle configurations and maximum seating certification. Avionics are fitted in the typical Encore Plus arrangement with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced navigation and situational awareness for corporate missions. Typical operations for this airframe profile include short- to medium-range corporate trips within the continental United States and point-to-point charter roles that exploit its cruise speed of 431 kts and 1,760 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow Pratt & Whitney Canada engine program schedules and Encore Plus airframe inspections to preserve resale value and operational readiness.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore Plus occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft compared with older Citation variants. Competing models in the sector include turbofan light-medium jets that target corporate operators and charter services seeking a balance of range, speed, and cabin comfort. Buyer and charter demand for Encore Plus airframes tends to emphasize low-time engines and avionics like the Collins Pro Line 21; resale considerations for this 2008 serial 560-0804 center on maintenance history, interior configuration (executive versus maximum seating), and adherence to manufacturer and engine program service intervals.
