Aircraft decision brief
Where the Citation ENCORE+ fits
Model overview
About the Citation ENCORE+
The Encore+ is the final production development of the Citation V and Ultra family. It paired the established Model 560 cabin and straight wing with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and PW535B engines, supporting seven-passenger regional missions and access to shorter runways.
Production concluded in 2011 after a relatively small run. Its niche is a larger light-jet cabin and field performance rather than the higher cruise speed of swept-wing competitors.

Ownership considerations
Confirm PW535 engine-program status, hot-section and overhaul position, phase inspections, landing-gear requirements and cycle history. Limited fleet size makes complete records and parts planning important.
Review Pro Line 21 configuration, interior condition, deice systems and actual payload. Older airframes may require avionics, connectivity and cabin investments to meet current expectations.
Category context
How it compares
The Encore+ offers more cabin presence and short-field utility than many CJ-series aircraft but cruises more slowly. Buyers should compare it with the CJ2+, CJ3 and legacy midsize aircraft based on runway, cabin and utilization priorities.
