N975AP

This article covers the specific airframe bearing registration N975AP, a 2022-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS Plus with serial number 560-6331 manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Flying Farmers LLC, an LLC based in Vista, CA, US; it is recorded to this single corporate owner in FAA registry records. Notable registry detail for this installation is the FAA-recorded seating of 13 for this registration despite the common executive layout being smaller. The airframe carries a contemporary valuation of $13,500,000, reflecting a late-production model in current market condition.

This specific Citation XLS Plus is outfitted in an executive cabin configuration typical of the model family but the FAA registration documents show 13 seats for this airframe; the published executive layout for the type commonly accommodates eight to nine passengers. The aircraft is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite as installed on this airframe, supporting modern flight management, navigation and situational awareness capabilities for business and charter operations. Based from Vista, California under ownership of Flying Farmers LLC, the airframe is suited to short- to mid-range missions across the continental United States and to nearby international points, leveraging its 2,100 nm range and 441-knot cruise for efficient point-to-point transport. Maintenance considerations align with light business-jet practices for PW545C engines and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle support.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS Plus occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of cabin comfort, runway performance and operating economics. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines delivering 4,119 lbf each and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, the model competes with family members and rivals such as the Embraer Legacy 450 and similar light-medium jets in charter and owner-operator markets. Demand for later-model XLS Plus airframes remains focused on buyers seeking modern avionics like Collins Pro Line 21 and reliable PW500-series propulsion; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the value premium of a 2022 build and documented 13-seat FAA configuration.
