N1865K 2014 Cessna Citation XLS+

Overview

This airframe, registered as N1865K, is a 2014-built example of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+, serial number 560-6172, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by the corporation Commerce Bank, located in Kansas City, MO, US; the corporate ownership has been the principal recorded stewardship in public registry data. Maintenance and operational decisions for this airframe are typically driven by corporate flight department standards associated with bank ownership and central U.S. basing. No exceptional damage history or major valuation events are published in the supplied data; condition highlights therefore center on its factory-new 2014 pedigree and standard XLS+ equipment fit.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this Citation XLS+ airframe is typically furnished with 8-9 executive seats in a club configuration, a forward galley and an aft lavatory, while the aircraft is certified for layouts up to 13 seats, allowing flexibility between executive transport and higher-density corporate shuttle missions. The installed avionics fit for the XLS+ standard is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with Garmin G5000 noted as an available upgrade option; this enables modern glass cockpit functionality suitable for business-jet operations. Based from Kansas City, MO, and operated under corporate ownership, the aircraft is well-suited to medium-range transcontinental trips and frequent point-to-point charters within North America, balancing speed, cabin comfort, and efficient short-field performance. Maintenance considerations follow PW545C engine schedules and XLS+ airframe checks consistent with corporate flight department requirements.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a combination of cabin size, short-field performance and a cruise near 440 kts with a 2,100 nm range. Competing models in its class include late-model variants of the Bombardier Learjet family and Embraer Legacy/Phenom platforms; buyer and charter demand typically favors XLS+ examples with factory Pro Line 21 avionics due to fleet commonality and mature support networks. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2014 airframe emphasize scheduled engine shop visits for the PW545C and adherence to XLS+ avionics and cabin refurbishment cycles to retain charter and corporate market value.
