N817BZ

This airframe, registered as N817BZ, is a 2007-built Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS) with manufacturer serial number 560-5742. It is recorded as owned by BRAZOS AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Fort Worth, TX, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe’s configuration and operational status reflect a mid-size business jet maintained for corporate use; valuation records list the airframe at $6,200,000. No additional public registry actions or prior owners are included in the supplied data.

The cabin of N817BZ is arranged to accommodate up to 13 occupants, consistent with the Citation XLS family’s typical corporate layout for short- to mid‑range missions. With a cruise speed of 433 kts and a maximum practical range of 2,100 nm, the airframe is suited to transcontinental U.S. hops and common business city-to-city itineraries operated from its Fort Worth base. Power is provided by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B turbofans, a factor central to scheduled maintenance intervals and operational planning for the registered corporate operator. The aircraft’s service ceiling of 45,000 ft supports high‑altitude cruise profiles used to optimize fuel burn and passenger comfort on longer legs.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS) occupies the light‑to‑midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin capacity and runway performance for corporate operators. With twin PW545B engines and the stated performance figures, it competes with contemporaries in the super-light to midsize segment, appealing to buyers and charter operators needing up to 13 seats and transcontinental capability. Market considerations for an airframe like N817BZ include engine maintenance cycles, avionics lifecycle updates, and resale valuation tied to the documented $6,200,000 price point.
