BR figure is an estimate derived from Flapper light-jet flight-leg quotes (no direct Encore listing): Citation CJ1 GRU-EZE R$114,020 / 2h55 ~ R$39k block-hr (~$7.2k/h at R$5.4/USD); Citation XLS GRU-MDE R$513,000 / 7h20 (one stop) ~ R$70k block-hr (~$13k/h). Encore sits between CJ1 and XLS; BR flight quotes include positioning, airport/FBO fees, taxes and minimum-leg, so effective per-hour runs well above world bare hourly. Treat BR band as indicative.

Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History
- 1999 - Sucessor do Citation V/Ultra com motores PW535A
Lancado em 1999, o Encore substituiu o Citation Ultra (1994-1999) trocando motores JT15D-5D por PW535A FADEC com 3.400 lbf, ganho de 9% em empuxo e ~10% em eficiencia de combustivel. Manteve a celula 560 do Citation V (1989) consagrada por mais de 700 unidades acumuladas, mas modernizou completamente os sistemas e o interior.
- 2003 - Encore+ trouxe Primus II e MTOW maior em 2003
Em 2003 a Cessna lancou o Encore+ como evolucao final, com aviônica Honeywell Primus II atualizada, MTOW aumentado para 7.633 kg e melhor performance hot-and-high. Producao do Encore/Encore+ encerrou em 2006 quando o Citation XLS+ tomou o segmento light-mid e a Cessna concentrou foco na familia CJ.

Market position
Market position analysis pending.
Brazil Fleet
Estimativa preliminar, refinar com dados RAB-ANAC.
Citation Encore (Cessna 560, 1999-2006) é o upgrade do Bravo com aviônica Honeywell Primus 1000 e motor PW535A (mais empuxo, melhor pista quente). Estimativa BR: 3-6 aeronaves, perfil charter mid-tier ou holdings com aeronave secundária.
Diferencial principal: certificação categoria "Light" mas com cabine close ao midsize (5,2m comprimento vs 4,9m do Bravo), 8 assentos. Compete pre-owned com Hawker 400A e Citation XLS antigo. Mercado de usados: US$ 1-1.8M (1999-2006).

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
FADEC e cabine ampla para a categoria light
FADEC dos PW535A reduz workload da tripulacao e melhora consumo em cerca de 10% em relacao ao Ultra. Cabine de 5,33 m de comprimento e 1,49 m de largura acomoda 8 passageiros confortavelmente em layout club + 4, com lavatorio traseiro com porta, diferenciando-se do CJ1/CJ2 com privacy curtain.
Pista curta e custo intermediario abrem nichos no Brasil
Com 3.500 ft de pista balanceada, opera em SBJD, SDCO e SBMT sem restricao, vantagem rara entre jatos com 1.700+ nm de alcance. No mercado usado brasileiro entre USD 1,8 mi e USD 3,8 mi, posiciona-se como upgrade natural para operadores saindo de Citation V/Ultra ou Bravo, sem o salto de custo do XLS+ (USD 4-7 mi usado).
Limitations
Cabine ainda em pe baixa e sem single-pilot
Altura de cabine de 1,45 m (vs 1,73 m do XLS+ e Phenom 300) forca passageiros mais altos a se inclinarem para caminhar. Diferente da familia CJ, o Encore exige dois pilotos certificados, type rating CE-560 nao tem variant single-pilot, encarecendo operacao em cerca de USD 80 mil/ano em folha.
Curiosities
Familia 560 acumulou mais de 1.000 unidades em 4 variantes
A celula do Encore e a mesma do Citation V (1989-1994), Citation Ultra (1994-1999) e Encore+ (2003-2006). Somando todas, a Cessna produziu mais de 1.000 jatos da linha 560, uma das mais bem-sucedidas da historia da aviacao executiva, sucedida apenas em volume pelo Citation Excel/XLS/XLS+ (560XL), que adotou nova fuselagem.
