N978MA

This entry covers the Cessna 560 airframe bearing U.S. registration N978MA, serial number 560-0683, built in 2005 by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered to ENCORE AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, which functions as the listed owner and operator/home base. There are no public records of additional registry actions or multiple ownership transfers for this specific airframe in the supplied data; the current ownership is the primary documented operator. Condition and valuation data for this individual airframe are not published in the provided dataset.

The airframe is configured within the Citation Excel / XLS family layout, providing a typical eleven-seat executive cabin suited to short-to-medium international missions and domestic cross-country hops consistent with a 1,858 nm range and high cruise speed of 441 kts. Operated from Oklahoma City, OK, the aircraft is well suited to charter, corporate transport, or owner-operated missions originating from its home base. Avionics fit and specific interior finish levels for this airframe are not detailed in the supplied data; standard XLS family fittings would commonly include a mid-size executive cabin with club seating and an enclosed aft lavatory. Maintenance considerations for this specific unit would align with the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A turbofan regimen and typical inspections for a 2005-model Citation 560-series aircraft.

The Cessna 560 (Citation Excel / XLS family) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort for up to eleven passengers with relative operating economy and runway performance. With twin PW535A engines producing 3,400 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with variants of the Embraer Legacy/Phenom series and older light-medium offerings from Bombardier. Buyer and charter demand generally favors well-maintained, low-time airframes; for resale and maintenance, owners of 2005-built XLS-family examples typically prioritize documented engine and APU programs and airframe maintenance records to maximize marketability.
