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
- 2006FAA certification
- 2007 - Last evolution of a lineage that began in 1989
The Encore+ is the end point of a lineage that began with the Citation V (1989), passed through the Ultra (1994) and Encore (2000). Each generation kept the 560 airframe but updated engines and avionics. The Encore+ brought full FADEC to the PW535Bs and Pro Line 21 EFIS, the definitive modernization before discontinuation.
- 2010 - Discontinued in 2010, only 73 units produced
Cessna ended Encore+ production in 2010 after only 4 years and ~73 units, when it focused resources on the new CJ4 (2010+) and the CJ line. The Encore+ is rare on the used market, with high demand for its refinement over the original Encore.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
PW535B FADEC on the Encore+
Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B engines with full FADEC deliver 3,400 lbf each, the same thrust as the original Encore's PW535A (3,400 lbf). Combined with refined aerodynamics, it allows cruise of 430 kt and a ceiling of FL450, medium jet performance at light pricing.
Larger cabin than the CJ3 with intermediate jet refinement
A cabin 5.27 m long (vs 4.72 m for the CJ3+) and 1.47 m wide seats 8 passengers truly comfortably on 3-4 hour missions. Enclosed lavatory, optional refrigerated galley and a 67 ft³ baggage compartment rival the Hawker 750 at a much lower cost.
Limitations
Two-pilot operation is the norm; single-pilot only with an exemption
Unlike the CJ family (525), the Encore+ requires a CE-560 type rating and most customers operate it with 2 pilots (single-pilot only with an exemption, a specific equipment package and specific training), increasing operating cost by ~USD 200/hour vs single-pilot. Limits use for owner-operators who want to fly alone.
Aging parts support after discontinuation
Production ended 14+ years ago, which means some Encore+-specific structural parts (vs. the original Encore) are already rare. Textron Aviation maintains AOG support but owners report longer lead times for fuselage and interior parts.
Curiosities
560 lineage totaled ~870 units in 21 years
The 560 family (Citation V + Ultra + Encore + Encore+) totaled approximately 870 units produced between 1989 and 2010, one of Cessna's great successes in the intermediate segment. Functionally succeeded by the CJ4 (2010+) with the same positioning but single-pilot certified and more modern.
