N824JS

The airframe bearing registration N824JS is a 2005-built Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS) with serial number 560-5536. It is owned by the corporate entity FE 5536 LLC, based in Kinston, NC, US, and carries a United States registration. The installation and equipment reflect the typical fit for the XLS family, and the airframe has been operated in a business/charter context consistent with corporate ownership. Notable registry actions include the aircraft being held by a single corporate owner since its recent listings, and public records indicate standard corporate custody without record of fractional ownership or operator changes in the supplied data.

The interior of this Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS) airframe accommodates up to 13 seats, supporting mixed passenger and executive-cabin layouts typical of late-model XLS examples. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite typical for the XLS family, providing integrated navigation, comms and flight-management capabilities for regional and transcontinental business missions. With a cruise speed near 433 knots and a published range of 2,100 nautical miles, typical operations include medium- to long-range point-to-point business travel, charter flights, and owner-operated corporate trips based from Kinston, NC, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with PW545-series engine overhaul intervals and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle management.

The Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin capacity and transcontinental capability with a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. Competitors in this class include other midsize citations and light-medium jets that emphasize short-field performance and operating economy. Buyer and charter demand for XLS airframes centers on reliable turbofan powerplants like the PW545 series and mature avionics such as Collins Pro Line 21, factors that also drive maintenance and resale considerations for this 2005-built airframe.
