- Brochure figures: 3,600 ft takeoff field length at MTOW, 2,100 nm max range, 441 ktas max cruise, climb to FL450 in 30 min.
- Full fuel payload is only 800 lb, so plan passengers and bags against fuel. Max takeoff weight is 20,330 lb.
- Cabin is 68 in high, 66 in wide and 18 ft 6 in long. Options include fold-down seatbacks for up to 130 lb of in-flight accessible baggage.
- Older XLS listings show PW545B engines and Honeywell Primus avionics, not the Gen2 PW545C and Pro Line 21. Verify which you are buying.
