N952RB

The airframe bearing tail number N952RB is a 2008-built example of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+, serial 560-6006, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation Inc.). The airframe is recorded as owned by VENDEN AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Dallas, TX, US, and carries United States registration. No other notable registry actions have been published. Valuation records indicate a market value of $8,000,000, reflecting its mid-to-late 2000s build vintage and typical condition for an aircraft of this class when maintained to standard corporate/operator practices.

The cabin of this Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ airframe is configured for up to 13 seats, supporting corporate transport and on-demand charter missions typical of medium-light jets. Factory avionics commonly include the Collins Pro Line 21 suite; this airframe can accept a retrofit to a modern Garmin G5000 system, allowing upgraded flightdeck ergonomics and situational awareness where operators choose to modernize. With a cruise speed of 441 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, typical mission profiles include transcontinental hops and regional international runs within North America from its Dallas, TX operator base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on standard twin-engine turbofan regimes for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C powerplants and adherence to Textron/Cessna service bulletins applicable to the 560XL series.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ family occupies the medium-light business jet niche, offering higher cabin capacity and payload than very light jets while remaining more economical to operate than larger midsize types. Competing models in the same performance bracket typically include late-model offerings from Bombardier’s Challenger-lite variants and Embraer’s light-to-midsize business jets. Demand among owner-operators and charter brokers remains steady for airframes with solid maintenance history and avionics upgrades such as Garmin G5000 retrofits; resale value and marketability are strongly influenced by completed updates, engine program status, and total time since the 2008 build.
