N824PM

This entry covers airframe N824PM, a 2005-built Cessna Citation XLS (560XLS) with serial number 560-5535. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by MCNAY AVIATION LLC of Quincy, IL, US, which is listed as the corporate owner/operator on public records. The aircraft’s documented role has been corporate executive transport operated from the owner’s home base in Quincy, Illinois; no other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published. The listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $5,000,000, a figure that reflects its mid-2000s vintage, typical equipment fit, and standard executive interior configuration.

The cabin of N824PM is finished in the typical 8-place executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and a belted lavatory, configured to support corporate or charter missions requiring a small group and high productivity. Avionics aboard this XLS-series example are typical for the model, furnished with a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, providing integrated flight management, navigation and primary flight displays suitable for regional and domestic IFR operations. With a cruise speed of 431 kts and a range of 1,858 nm, the aircraft’s operational profile is oriented toward cross-country U.S. trips and short transcontinental missions, operating from the owner/operator base in Quincy, Illinois. Routine maintenance considerations center on two PW545B turbofan engines and the avionics common to XLS-series examples.

The Cessna Citation XLS (560XLS) occupies a niche as a midsize business jet offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance and operating economy for corporate operators. In the pre-owned market, examples like N824PM typically appeal to buyers seeking a congenial eight-seat executive layout combined with reliable Pratt & Whitney Canada propulsion and familiar Honeywell avionics. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its 2005 manufacture date, engine model commonality, and installed avionics; these factors influence lifecycle costs and buyer demand relative to newer midsize jet offerings.
