N501QS

This airframe, registered as N501QS, is a 2016-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0037. The aircraft is owned by NETJETS SALES INC (a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US), and is operated within NetJets’ fleet program; its registration is under the US registry. Notable registry and ownership history centers on the fleet acquisition and assignment typical of fractional operators, with this specific airframe valued at $14,802,168, reflecting its condition and market position as a late-production Latitude. Maintenance and operational records are maintained to NetJets’ corporate standards, consistent with a managed fleet asset.

The fitted cabin for this airframe features a flat-floor, stand-up executive cabin that is operator-configurable for an 8–10 passenger layout, with NetJets typically configuring this airframe in an 8 passenger arrangement for fractional operations. The avionics fit on the aircraft is the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern glass cockpit operation, enhanced situational awareness, and crew workflow common to NetJets’ single-type training and operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range executive transport and transcontinental point-to-point trips within its 2,700 nm range and cruise at 446 kts, operated from NetJets’ Oklahoma City administrative base and assigned regional operating bases as required. Cabin and maintenance considerations for this specific serial include adherence to corporate refurbishment cycles and avionics software update programs consistent with high-utilization, fractional ownership models.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude family occupies a midsize-cabin, super-midsize performance niche with a focus on flat-floor comfort and efficient range-speed balance, exemplified here by a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise of 446 kts. Competing models in the market segment emphasize similar transcontinental capability and cabin comfort, putting the Latitude in direct comparison with other light-to-mid-size corporate jets where buyer demand favors fractional operators and owner-operators seeking cabin volume and single-pilot or two-pilot operational flexibility. For this specific airframe, resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by fleet ownership by NETJETS SALES INC, documented avionics standardization on Garmin G5000, and the aircraft’s 2016 manufacture date, factors that typically support strong secondary-market valuation and predictable maintenance scheduling.
