N318SM

This entry describes airframe N318SM, a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude built in 2016 with serial number 680A-0036. The airframe is owned by KINGSTON VENTURES II LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft carries a standard executive configuration and has recorded ownership under KINGSTON VENTURES II LLC since its current registration; initial registration and subsequent registry records reflect US registration actions. Condition and market valuation details for this specific airframe are Not published.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a standard executive layout providing 2 crew + 8 passengers with a flat-floor, 6 ft stand-up cabin that supports typical business and corporate transport missions. Avionics in this specific airframe are the Garmin G5000 suite, supporting integrated flight management, synthetic vision and advanced situational awareness for single-pilot capable flows in the Latitude family. With a 2,700 nm range and cruise speeds around 446 kts, typical operations for N318SM include medium- to long-range point-to-point corporate travel and charter missions out of its operator/home base in Missoula, MT. Maintenance considerations follow Textron Aviation service schedules for the Citation Latitude, with the PW306D engines and Garmin G5000 avionics influencing routine inspection and avionics software update cycles.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, flat-floor business jet niche, offering transregional range and stand-up cabin comfort comparable to larger light-medium categories. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D engines producing 5,907 lbf each and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the model competes with contemporaries offering similar range and cabin volume; buyer and charter demand generally favors its combination of cabin comfort, operational economics and Garmin G5000 avionics commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize complete engine and avionics logs, especially PW306D life limits and Garmin software currency, which materially affect marketability for individual airframes like N318SM.
