N40FC

This article describes the individual airframe registered as N40FC, a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0450. The aircraft is manufactured by TEXTRON AVIATION INC (Cessna) and is owned by TEXTRON AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Wichita, KS, US. Registered in the US, this airframe is recorded with the manufacturer's corporate entity as owner and operator, with valuation recorded at $16,250,000. No public change-of-ownership or third-party registry actions are recorded in the provided dataset; the airframe remains within the manufacturer’s corporate holdings.

The airframe features a flat-floor stand‑up cabin configured for typical two-crew operation plus an interior arrangement accommodating 8–10 passengers in a club/forward divan layout with a belted aft lavatory. Avionics fit on this specific aircraft is the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck. Operational missions for this aircraft, as configured, are consistent with short to mid-range business transport and charter operations exploiting a maximum range of 2,700 nm and a high single-engine-pair cruise of 446 kts, with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft for long-distance point-to-point employment. As a factory-owned example, maintenance and configurations are expected to follow manufacturer-controlled programs and standards.

The airframe is a member of the Cessna 680A Citation Latitude family, positioned in the midsize business jet segment where performance niche is defined by a flat-floor stand‑up cabin for improved passenger comfort and a transcontinental range near 2,700 nm. Competing models typically include other midsize corporate jets offering similar cabin comfort and Garmin G5000-class avionics. For buyers and charter operators, considerations for this airframe include lifecycle maintenance under manufacturer oversight, resale value supported by a factory ownership pedigree, and operating economics tied to the twin PW306D1 engines producing 5,907 lbf each.
