Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N999CX is a 2008-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with manufacturer serial number 560-5767, completed by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by Big Sky Aviation LLC, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. This specific airframe is identifiable by its late-2000s Citation XLS configuration and corporate ownership; no additional public record of prior owners or notable registry actions is provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.
The cabin of this airframe reflects a typical eight-passenger executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory while maintaining an overall seating capacity of 13, consistent with corporate-configured Citation XLS interiors that may include additional crew or belted seats. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced navigation, communications and flight management features appropriate for business transport and charter operations. Operated from its owner’s base in Oklahoma City, OK, the airplane is well suited to regional and transcontinental missions within its 2,100 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 441 kts, commonly flown on business itineraries, air charter hops, and corporate positioning flights. Maintenance considerations typical to this airframe would center on PW545B engine scheduled inspections and Pro Line 21 avionics support, though specific maintenance status is not supplied.
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering runway performance and cabin comfort competitive with contemporaries while delivering cruise speeds around 441 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in the same market segment include later-model Citation series and light-medium jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Bombardier; buyer and charter demand tends to favor examples with modern avionics and well-documented maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine time, Pro Line 21 avionics condition, and interior refurbishment needs relative to its 2008 build year.
