N378QS

This article covers airframe N378QS, a 2006-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0103, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.). The aircraft is recorded as owned by NetJets Sales Inc. (corporation) based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US. Built in 2006, the airframe's current market valuation is listed at $7,200,000, and it typically appears in fractional/NetJets fleet configurations with a maintained executive condition consistent with corporate ownership and fleet-level maintenance practices.

The specific cabin for N378QS follows the typical 8–9-place executive layout, with club seating commonly specified in fractional and NetJets configurations; this airframe is noted as accommodating 9 seats. Avionics on the airframe are the typical Honeywell Primus Epic fit for the Sovereign, supporting integrated flight management and standard business-jet navigation and communication suites. Operationally, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point business missions within its 2,820 nm range and at an economical cruise around 446 kts, regularly used by fractional owners and corporate flight departments. As a corporate-owned airframe, maintenance and dispatch cycles generally align with fleet-level programs and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engine support arrangements.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, comfortable cabin seating for up to 9, and a service ceiling of 47,000 ft. It competes in the market against other midsize jets for fractional and corporate buyers seeking a blend of range, runway performance, and operating economics. For a 2006 airframe such as N378QS, resale and market considerations reflect age, avionics fit like the Honeywell Primus Epic, engine status of the PW306C pair, and fleet provenance under NetJets Sales Inc., factors that together influence its valuation near $7.2M.
