Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N520QS, a factory-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude completed in 2016 with serial number 680A0056. The aircraft is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and carries a US registration. The airframe is valued at $12,000,000 and presents as a late-model Latitude with standard executive configuration and Garmin-equipped avionics consistent with factory fit; no interim ownership transfers beyond the registered corporate owner are published in the supplied data.
The cabin of N520QS is described as a typical 8–10 place executive layout featuring a forward refreshment/galley, club seating and an aft enclosed lavatory, together with a flat floor and large windows that characterize the Latitude series. The avionics complement for this airframe is the factory-typical Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern flight management and crew situational awareness for corporate operations. Operated under a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, the aircraft is suited to business and charter missions within its 2,700 nm range and 446-knot cruise speed, enabling transcontinental US routing and select international sectors from a central US base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow standard Textron Aviation and Pratt & Whitney Canada support programs applicable to the PW306D1-equipped Latitudes; no bespoke modifications or unique maintenance actions are noted in the supplied data.
The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, transcontinental executive turbofan niche, offering a combination of cabin comfort and efficient range for operators seeking near-long-range flexibility without super-midsize operating costs. With two PW306D1 engines producing 5,907 lbf thrust apiece and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, the model competes with light/midsize jets that prioritize cabin volume and lower direct operating cost rather than ultra-long-range capability. Buyer and charter demand for Latitudes tends to emphasize interior configuration, avionics standardization such as the Garmin G5000, and program-supported maintenance; resale considerations for N520QS will reflect its 2016 build year, corporate ownership pedigree, and the standard factory executive fit.
