The Cessna Citation Encore+ (Model 560) represents the ultimate evolution of the legendary Citation V series. Introduced in 2006, the Encore+ refined everything that made the Citation Encore successful, incorporating state-of-the-art avionics, FADEC-equipped engines, and performance improvements that brought new efficiency and reliability to the light jet category.
As one of the final iterations of the straight-wing Citation family, the Encore+ remains highly sought after in the pre-owned market. With its blend of modern cockpit technology, dependable engines, and versatile mission capability, the Encore+ delivers exceptional value for both private owners and corporate operators.
FROM ENCORE TO ENCORE+: THE EVOLUTION
The Encore+ built upon the proven foundation of the Citation Encore, itself a successful successor to the Citation V Ultra. While the Encore had already raised the bar with upgraded engines and cabin comfort, the Encore+ took the design further by introducing Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) and the Collins Pro Line 21 glass cockpit.
These advancements simplified pilot workload, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced reliability—making the Encore+ a modern, forward-thinking solution in the light jet segment.
THE ENCORE+ ADVANTAGE
- FADEC Engines: Twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B engines with FADEC provide optimized performance, better fuel efficiency, and reduced pilot workload—translating into lower operating costs and smoother operations.
- Pro Line 21 Avionics: The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 integrated avionics suite delivers a modern, intuitive cockpit experience, aligning the Encore+ with larger and more advanced business jets.
- Enhanced Performance: The Encore+ features higher cruise speeds, faster climbs, and improved payload capacity, while retaining the Encore’s impressive short field performance. This combination makes it ideal for both long-range missions and operations from smaller airports.
- Refined Cabin Comfort: With seating for up to eight passengers, the Encore+ offers a spacious, quiet, and productive environment—perfect for business leaders, families, or charter customers.
- Strong Market Value: The Encore+ is widely recognized for its efficiency and versatility, ensuring strong resale value and ongoing demand in the pre-owned light jet marketplace.
