RESEARCH NOTES

About N156XL

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers airframe N156XL, a 2010-built Cessna Citation XLS+ (560XL) with manufacturer serial number 560-6056. The airframe is owned by J G Boswell Co, a corporation based in Pasadena, CA, US, and is registered in the US.

Operations & Cabin

This airframe is certificated for up to 13 seats while operator interiors vary; typical executive layouts for the model place between 7-9 passengers. The cabin dimensions are approximately 18 ft 6 in in length, 66 in in width and 68 in in height, supporting executive transport missions, corporate shuttle operations, and short-to-medium international hops within the aircraft’s 2,100 nm range. The aircraft is commonly equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite consistent with XLS+ factory or retrofitted specifications, supporting advanced flight management, navigation, and situational awareness capabilities for high-altitude operations to 45,000 ft. As an operator-owned corporate asset (J G Boswell Co), maintenance patterns and interior fit reflect private corporate requirements rather than a standardized charter configuration.

Model & Market Context

The airframe belongs to the Cessna Citation XLS+ (560XL) family, positioned as a midsize business jet combining short-field performance with transcontinental cruise capability near 441 kts and a 2,100 nm mission radius. Competing models occupy a similar market niche where buyer and charter demand favor cabin comfort, operating economics, and proven Pratt & Whitney Canada powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect XLS+ commonality, established aftermarket support, avionics upgrade paths such as the Collins Pro Line 21, and attention to engine cycles on the PW545C pair when assessing long-term value.
