N857CB

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N857CB, a 2019-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6278. The airframe is registered to SPM3 LLC, an Arizona-based limited liability company located in Phoenix, AZ, US, which is the recorded owner and presumed operator/home base. There are no publicly listed notable registry actions or transfers beyond the current registration, and valuation or condition highlights are Not published. The airframe reflects a late-model Citation XLS+ example consistent with factory configuration and operator-fit executive interiors typical of the type.

The cabin for this specific airframe is recorded as a typical executive layout with an operator-configured 8–9 place executive cabin; the exact internal configuration was not listed in consulted sources. Avionics fit for the type is the Collins Pro Line 21, which is the typical XLS+ fit and provides integrated flight management, navigation, and communication capabilities suitable for business aviation missions. Typical operations for this aircraft model and registry status include short- to medium-haul executive transport and on-demand charter flights within a continental U.S. range up to approximately 2,100 nm and flight levels to 45,000 ft, enabling fast point-to-point travel from its Phoenix, AZ base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow manufacturer schedules for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines and airframe inspections typical of late-model Citation XLS+ aircraft.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a combination of runway performance, speed (approximately 441 kts cruise), and cabin comfort with executive seating for eight to nine passengers. Competing models in the segment include light-medium jets from Bombardier and Embraer, where buyers and charter operators evaluate range, operating cost, and cabin flexibility. For resale and maintenance, late-model airframes such as this 2019 560-6278 benefit from modern avionics (Collins Pro Line 21) and commonality of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines, factors that influence buyer demand and lifecycle support.
