N876UC

This entry covers airframe N876UC, a 2006-built Cessna Citation XLS (560XL) with serial number 560-5652. The aircraft is registered in the United States and owned by RPS HOLDINGS INC, a corporation based in Los Osos, California; the registration and corporate ownership are the primary recorded registry actions. The airframe is a mid-life example of the model, noted in available data with an estimated market value of $4,650,000 and a standard configuration reflecting executive transport use. No other transfers or unusual registry events are published in the supplied dataset.

This specific Citation XLS (560XL) is configured with a mid-cabin club executive layout in an 8-passenger configuration, including a forward side-facing seat and an aft lavatory that is externally serviceable, consistent with corporate shuttle and on-demand charter profiles. Avionics are installed as the Honeywell Primus 1000 / Primus II suite, featuring dual UNS-1ESPW FMS, TCAS, and a Mark V EGPWS, which support typical IFR, high-altitude cruise, and commercial charter operating procedures. Based from Los Osos, California under corporate ownership, the airframe’s mission set would commonly include regional to transcontinental trips within its 1,940 nm range at cruise speeds around 433 kts, with runway and maintenance considerations driven by twin PW545B turbofan support and mid-cabin access requirements.

The Cessna Citation XLS (marketed as the 560XL family) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, short-field performance, and favorable operating economics for owner-operators and charter companies. Competing models in its performance bracket include late-model Embraer Phenom 300 variants and the older Learjet 60XR; buyer demand typically favors examples with upgraded avionics and lower-cycle engines. For resale and maintenance, this airframe’s Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B engines and Honeywell Primus suite are well-supported, but marketability hinges on tracked maintenance history, avionics status, and interior condition relative to its 2006 build year.
