N359QS

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing registration N359QS, a 2007-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0126. The airframe is owned by NetJets Aviation and is registered in the US; its recorded civilian valuation is $6,000,000. The aircraft’s status reflects typical corporate fractional ownership operation under a large operator, with no additional publicized registry actions beyond standard US registration. Condition highlights correspond to an in-service Citation Sovereign of its vintage and operator type, with avionics retrofit options noted in its equipment fit.

The cabin in this airframe reflects a typical 8–9 place executive layout with double-club seating, a single forward club and the occasional divan, complemented by a forward galley and an aft enclosed lavatory consistent with executive transport missions. Avionics for listed and retrofit Sovereign examples commonly feature the Honeywell Primus EPIC suite, which aligns with enhanced navigation, flight management and situational awareness capabilities for complex operations. With a cruise speed of 445 kts and a range of 2,820 nm, this airframe is configured for medium- to long-range corporate missions and fractional operator scheduling patterns, operated from NetJets’ bases as part of a pooled fleet. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect typical twin-engine turbofan care for the PW306C powerplant and fleet-standard avionics retrofits.

As a member of the Cessna (Textron Aviation) Citation Sovereign line, this airframe combines high cruise speed and transcontinental range for its class, with a service ceiling of 47,000 ft supporting efficient, higher-altitude cruise profiles. The combination of twin PW306C engines, executive cabin fittings and common avionics retrofit paths such as Honeywell Primus EPIC positions the type for continued utility in fractional and corporate fleets. Recorded valuation at $6,000,000 for this unit informs resale and lease considerations relative to maintenance status, avionics fit and cumulative utilization.
