Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N963AD is a 2021-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+, serial number 560-6299, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by DGCAC HOLDING LLC, a corporation based in New Canaan, CT, US. The airframe’s documented valuation stands at $10,952,541, reflecting its recent build year and modern systems; no additional registry actions or prior operators are published in the provided data.

This specific Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ (N963AD) is typically configured with an executive cabin in an 8–9 place layout, comprising a forward club, a mid-cabin club, an aft belted single or sofa and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting executive transport and short-to-medium international hops. The installed avionics are typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with a common upgrade path to Garmin G5000 available—both configurations influence dispatch reliability and pilot training requirements. With a cruise of 441 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, the aircraft suits owner-operator missions and corporate charter sectors originating from its New Canaan, CT owner base, operating at typical business-jet altitudes up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin-PW545C engine support networks and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle management.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cabin flexibility and runway performance than older Citation Excel variants. Competing models include light-medium entrants from Embraer and Gulfstream’s lower-end offerings; buyer demand often targets a balance of operating economics and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance outlook for this 2021 airframe is supported by factory support from Textron Aviation Inc and widely available PW500-series engine support, factors that contribute to its documented value.
