N280P

This article covers airframe N280P, a factory-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude delivered in 2016 with serial number 680A0059. The aircraft is manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) and is registered in the US; ownership is held by CESSNA LATITUDE 680A-0059 LLC, a Wilmington, Delaware limited liability company. The airframe is configured and certificated consistent with the Latitude production standard and is valued at $15,500,000 on recent market assessments. Maintenance status and individual flight logs are not published here; notable registry activity is limited to its civil US registration and ownership by the named LLC.

The cabin of N280P follows the typical Latitude executive arrangement with a flat floor and is laid out for an 8–9 passenger executive interior while certificated for up to 10 seats; forward galley/refreshment center options and an aft enclosed lavatory are part of the standard cabin complement. The aircraft is equipped from the factory with the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern avionics workflows for single-pilot or two-pilot operations as applicable. Typical mission profiles enabled by the airframe’s 2,700 nm range and 446 kt cruise speed include regional and transcontinental business trips within North America, point-to-point charter operations, and corporate shuttle duties. As a 2016-built airframe, operators and maintenance planners will note lifecycle items consistent with mid-cycle Citation Latitude examples, including scheduled engine and avionics checks aligned to Pratt & Whitney and Garmin service requirements.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the super-midsize light-to-medium business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort and transcontinental capability with efficient operating economics. With twin PW306D1 engines and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the model appeals to owners and charter operators seeking stage lengths up to roughly 2,700 nm at high cruise speeds. Market interest commonly focuses on interior condition, avionics standardization such as Garmin G5000, engine time on wing, and completion options; these factors influence resale value and charter demand for individual airframes like N280P. Maintenance considerations center on PW306D1 engine programs and Garmin avionics support, both of which are well-supported in the civil US registry.
