N868CW

This airframe, registered as N868CW, is a 2007-built Cessna 560 Citation Encore+ (serial 560-0757) manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is owned by the Montana-based corporation BIG SKY INSULATIONS INC of Belgrade, MT, US, and is registered in the United States. The Encore+ shows a typical light-business-jet lifecycle with an interior refresh completed in 2016 and an estimated market value reported at $4,000,000. Operator and registry history beyond the recorded corporate ownership is not published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in a seven-place executive layout with center-club seating, a forward refreshment center and an aft enclosed lavatory, and the interior was refreshed in 2016. Avionics fit for this airframe is reported as a typical Collins Pro Line 21 suite for the model, supporting business-jet navigation and systems common to Pro Line 21-equipped Citations. With a long-range cruise capability and a maximum operating altitude of 45,000 ft, the Encore+ airframe is suited to transcontinental missions, owner-operated business travel and on-demand charter roles that match the capacity and range of a light mid-size jet. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would reflect the twin PW535B engines and Pro Line 21 avionics commonality, with no additional supplemental type certificates or modifications published in the provided data.

The Cessna 560 Citation Encore+ occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche, offering improved performance and range over earlier Citation variants while maintaining single-cabin executive capacity for seven passengers. Competing models in the same segment typically include later-generation light midsize jets from Bombardier and Embraer, where buyer demand balances acquisition cost, operating economics and avionics capability; the reported $4,000,000 valuation reflects a used-aircraft market where interior condition (notably the 2016 refresh) and Pro Line 21 avionics increase desirability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on lifecycle support for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B engines and the ongoing serviceability of the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, factors that commonly influence operating cost and marketability in owner-operated and fractional/charter settings.
