N506QS

This entry covers a specific Cessna 680A Citation Latitude bearing the U.S. registration N506QS. The airframe was built by Textron Aviation Inc. in 2016 and carries manufacturer serial number 680A0043. It is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US; the record reflects the airframe as part of NetJets' inventory rather than a private individual. Valuation records list the airframe at $13,900,000, indicating market positioning consistent with late-model midsize business jets held in managed fleet service.

The aircraft features a flat-floor stand-up cabin finished in a typical NetJets executive layout that accommodates 8–10 seats in club/forward-aft arrangement with a forward galley/refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory, providing short- to mid-range corporate transport comfort. Avionics aboard this production-fit Latitude are the Garmin G5000, a modern integrated flight deck that supports advanced navigation, situational awareness, and automated flight capabilities suitable for fleet operations. Typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental U.S. and Caribbean movements within its 2,700 nm range and high-speed cruise at 440 kts; operations will often be coordinated from the owner’s home base in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Maintenance and service routines align with corporate fleet standards given the corporate ownership and factory production configuration.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies a midsize cabin, flat-floor niche offering a balance of range, cabin comfort, and operating economics that competes with other mid-cabin business jets in private aviation and fractional ownership fleets. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D engines, a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, and typical NetJets outfitting, this airframe targets corporate and fractional owners seeking predictable dispatch reliability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial (680A0043) reflect the benefits of fleet management—consistent maintenance tracking and conservative utilization—which can support residual value near its listed $13,900,000 figure compared with independently operated examples.
