N853AC

This article concerns airframe N853AC, a 2007 production example of the Cessna 560 Citation Encore+ built by Cessna (Textron Aviation) with serial number 560-0774. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate entity VISION JET LLC, located in Fort Wayne, IN, US; the registration and corporate ownership establish its operator/home base ties to northeastern Indiana. The twinjet is configured and maintained as an executive transport and carried an estimated market value of $8,273,000 at the referenced valuation point. No other prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin on N853AC follows the typical executive layout for this airframe family with a described 8–11 passenger configuration, featuring an enclosed lavatory and forward cabin seating; the fitted arrangement supports corporate transport and private charter missions. Based on the registered owner and listed home location, routine operations are likely to originate from Fort Wayne-area airports, supporting regional and transcontinental trips within the aircraft’s 1,760 nm range and high-speed cruise profile. Specific avionics fit, interior finish level, and maintenance history are not published in the supplied data; routine considerations for this airframe type include engine hot-section inspections and avionics/software updates typical of late-2000s business jets. The aircraft’s seating capacity and range profile make it suitable for executive repositioning, short international hops, and on-demand charter roles.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore+ family occupies the light-medium twinjet segment, offering high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling that appeals to corporate operators seeking point-to-point efficiency. Competing models in the same niche typically include other light-cabin business jets that balance speed, operating cost, and runway performance; buyer demand centers on pre-owned examples with comprehensive maintenance records. For N853AC, resale and maintenance considerations will reflect its 2007 vintage, serial 560-0774, and installed Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B engines, with market value influenced by logbook completeness, refurbishment status, and any avionics upgrades.
