N854AN

This entry covers airframe N854AN, a 2007-built Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) with manufacturer serial number 560-5713. The jet is registered in the US and is listed as owned by corporation YONDERBYRD LLC, based in Hickory, North Carolina; the airframe is recorded in corporate ownership rather than individual registry. The aircraft's documented condition and recent broker reporting support a market valuation of $4,821,136, and available records indicate an executive-configured interior and avionics package consistent with business charter or corporate transport roles.

The cabin of N854AN is reported by a broker as an executive 9-place layout featuring a forward 2-place divan, club seating, and a belted aft lavatory; overall cabin seating capacity is listed as 13, reflecting optional configurations for additional passengers or auxiliary seating. Avionics fitted to the airframe include dual UNS‑1E (upgraded) flight management systems, a Garmin GMX‑200 MFD, TCAS II, TAWS, SATCOM capability and ADS‑B compliance, providing modern situational awareness and communications for continental operations. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range of 1,940 nm, typical missions for this airframe would include medium-haul corporate travel, regional charters, and point-to-point executive transport from its Hickory, NC base. Maintenance considerations align with multi-engine fixed-wing corporate turbofan practices, with inspection schedules driven by the airframe age (2007) and engine type.

As a Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) variant, N854AN sits in the light-medium business jet niche offering transcontinental regional range and high single-trip productivity at a cruise near 430 kts and ceiling to 45,000 ft. Competing models occupy a similar mission profile in the used market, and demand is typically driven by charter operators and corporate buyers seeking a balance of cabin comfort and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial-series airframe reflect standard life-cycle factors: avionics upgrades (noted here), engine inspection cycles for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B units, and overall hours/calendar factors influencing valuation at approximately $4,821,136.
