RESEARCH NOTES
About N178LC
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N178LC, a 2016-built business jet with serial number 560-6218. The airframe was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. and is owned by TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc. of North Salt Lake, UT, US. Notable registry actions are limited to the provided ownership and registration details; no further transfers or incidents are recorded in the supplied data.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe is configured in a Preferred 9-passenger executive layout: forward two-place side-facing divan, mid-cabin four-place club, aft two forward-facing chairs + side seat; forward galley and aft lavatory, which supports typical short- to mid-range executive missions and charter tasks. Avionics on this specific jet comprise a Collins Pro Line 21 (4-tube EFIS) with IFIS-5000, FMS-3000, a common avionics fit for dispatch reliability and crew situational awareness in this category. With a cruise speed of 441 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, the airframe is well suited to cross-country transcontinental hops and efficient regional charters from its owner/operator base in North Salt Lake. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on hot-section and turbine lifecycle monitoring for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines and avionics support for the Collins Pro Line 21 suite.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the midsize business-jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort for 9 passengers and economical operating costs relative to larger-cabin types. Competing models in the segment include light-midsize jets aimed at owner-operators and charter fleets; demand typically centers on corporate, fractional, and charter buyers seeking transcontinental capability without super-midsize expense. For resale and maintenance, the 2016 airframe year and the installed PW545C engines align with established support networks, while the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics maintain market acceptability though may influence upgrade considerations for buyers seeking newer EFIS or connectivity suites.
