N8701L

This airframe, registered as N8701L, is a 2007-built Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) with serial number 560-5751. It is owned by CITATION OIL & GAS CORP, a corporation based in Houston, TX, US, and carries a United States registration (US). Registry lists 13 seats for this airframe, a notable registry detail that differs from the typical advertised cabin capacity for the model.

The airframe is outfitted in an executive cabin layout commonly specified as a six‑place club, plus a belted divan and an aft seat; standard type listings for the model note configurations of 8–11 pax, while registry lists 13 seats for this airframe. Avionics fit is the Honeywell Primus Epic, the typical XLS installation that supports modern flight management, situational awareness, and integrated systems operation. Powered by two PW545B turbofan engines and capable of a 2,100 nm mission at a cruise of 433 kts, the airplane is suited to corporate point‑to‑point missions from its owner’s Houston base, supporting medium‑range executive travel profiles. Cabin amenities and specific interior finish levels are operator‑dependent and follow the common executive configuration noted above.

The Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) occupies the light‑to‑midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of runway performance, a 45,000 ft ceiling, and a transcontinental-ish range of 2,100 nm. Its combination of twin PW545B engines, Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, and an executive cabin makes it appealing to corporate operators seeking reliable regional and near‑international capability. Market considerations for this family typically emphasize the airframe’s operational flexibility, maintenance status of the Pratt & Whitney Canada engines, and the interior configuration when assessing resale or charter appeal.
