RESEARCH NOTES

About N1853

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

Overview

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N1853, a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ built in 2004 with serial number 560-5533. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by Bounty Investments LLC, an LLC based in Fort Worth, TX, United States; this current ownership represents the primary recorded registry entry for the airframe. The airframe carries the typical certification allowances for the model, permitting up to 13 seats, and its configuration and equipment reflect standard XLS/XLS+ fleet fits. No public record of other notable registry actions is provided for this specific serial in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout with an 8-9 place forward-facing arrangement, a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, while the aircraft’s certificate allows operation with up to 13 seats depending on interior and safety equipment configuration. Avionics are representative of XLS/XLS+ fleets, typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting business and light charter mission avionics standards. With a long-range cruise capability and a sea-level range of 2,100 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and medium-haul point-to-point executive or charter routes from its operator base in Fort Worth, TX. Maintenance considerations follow the PW545 series turbofan common support and XLS+ airframe schedules typical for operators seeking consistent dispatch reliability.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of cabin comfort and efficient short-to-medium haul performance with cruise speeds around 441 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in its class include later-model light midsize jets offering similar range and cabin flexibility; demand among private owners and charter operators favors XLS/XLS+ airframes with Pro Line 21 avionics for their operational familiarity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2004 airframe center on hours and cycles, engine PW545 lifecycle status, and interior refurbishment choices when converting between executive 8-9 place fits and the certificate-allowed 13-seat configurations.
