Cessna Citation XLS Gen2, in brief
The Citation XLS-series traces back to the Citation Excel, with the XLS+ (introduced 2008) adding FADEC-controlled Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. Later-production XLS+ airframes, sometimes referred to as Gen2 examples in the used market, carry cabin and equipment refinements accumulated over the model’s long production run.
