N492CA

This entry describes airframe N492CA, a factory-built Cessna Citation Longitude completed in 2020 with serial number 700-0038. The airframe is owned by ELEMENT40 AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Memphis, TN, US, and is registered in the US. Maintenance and listing information note avionics upgrades and an executive interior; the airframe is valued at $24,750,000 and is presented as a late-build Longitude with contemporary fit and finish. Ownership is recorded to ELEMENT40 AVIATION LLC with Memphis as the operator/home base.

The aircraft is fitted with an executive nine-plus-one passenger layout — a 9+1 configuration featuring a three-place lay-flat divan and a crew jump seat — providing flexibility for both passenger comfort and light-cargo or mission equipment. Avionics are listed as Garmin G5000 with Block upgrades (per listing reports), indicating a modern integrated flight deck suitable for long-range corporate missions. With a maximum cruise near 483 kts and a range of 3,500 nm, typical operations for this airframe would encompass transcontinental U.S. trips and medium-haul international sectors from its Memphis base. The twin Honeywell HTF7700L powerplants offer performance and support common to the Longitude fleet, with maintenance considerations aligning with standard Honeywell & Textron service networks.

The Cessna Citation Longitude occupies the large-cabin super-midsize niche, offering transcontinental range and high cruise speed while maintaining single-pilot certification options in some configurations across the family. It competes with models such as the Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Embraer Praetor series for charter and owner-operator buyers seeking long range and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine-time tracking for the HTF7700L units, Garmin G5000 software/Block status, and the desirability of factory executive interiors; the listed valuation of $24,750,000 reflects late-build market positioning and documented avionics upgrades.
