N866TC

This entry documents airframe N866TC, a 2008-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore+ with serial number 560-0802. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by GREATER OZARKS AVIATION CO TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Springfield, MO, US, reflecting a single-entity corporate ownership structure rather than individual private ownership. The airframe retains its original manufacturer configuration from Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is valued at $8,273,000 in current listings, indicating market positioning among late-2000s light-cabin business jets. No public record of subsequent ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the corporate ownership is provided.

The cabin of N866TC is arranged as a mid-club main cabin with seating for seven in the primary configuration and an aft eighth belted lavatory seat, supported by a forward galley installation; this layout supports typical short- to mid-range corporate missions and small-group executive transport. Avionics are equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing integrated flight management, communications, and navigation capabilities appropriate for domestic and regional IFR operations. With a cruise speed of 414 knots and a maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 feet, the airframe is suited to fast cross-country hops and access to higher-altitude airways; the corporate ownership based in Springfield, MO, US suggests primary operations from that region. Maintenance and operational considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B engine support and the avionics life-cycle for Pro Line 21-equipped Citation Encores.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore+ occupies the light-cabin, light-medium performance niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, balancing short-field capability with transcontinental range near 1,970 nm. Its contemporaries include similarly sized light-cabin jets from competing manufacturers that target eight-passenger corporate missions. Buyer and charter demand for 2008-era Encore+ airframes centers on operational economics, engine TBO schedules for the PW535B pair, and avionics upgrades where operators may consider modernizing Pro Line 21 suites for enhanced situational awareness and connectivity. Resale considerations for this specific airframe include its corporate registry, documented cabin layout, and the stated valuation of $8,273,000.
