Model & Market Context
N975MD is a 2011 Cessna 560XLS Citation XLS+ (MSN 560-6080) currently U.S.-registered and listed on operator/charter directories as a midsize executive jet.
The airframe is configured as a typical 8–9 passenger XLS+ with forward galley and enclosed aft lavatory; operators list the jet as available for charter and based in the North Carolina / RDU region while recent ADS‑B/track history shows frequent regional flights. The XLS+ on this serial is equipped with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines (4,119 lbf each) and a Pro Line avionics fit (Pro Line 21 on XLS+ units), giving the type 2,100 nm max range, ~441 kt cruise and 45,000 ft service ceiling.
The Citation XLS+ is the uprated XLS derivative of the original Excel/XL family introduced to provide improved range, engines and avionics; it is positioned in the midsize/business turbofan market as a popular charter and owner‑operator platform because of its short-field performance, roomy cabin for the class, and relatively low operating cost versus larger super‑mids. Typical mission profiles are 1‑4 hour regional executive trips or non‑stop trans‑US legs for small groups.
