N521QS

This entry describes airframe N521QS, a 2016 build of the Cessna 680A Citation Latitude (serial 680A0058) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by NELSON-JACKSON LLC, an Oklahoma City, OK–based limited liability company, which serves as the operator/home base for this airframe. The airframe’s records indicate standard corporate registry status with no notable publicized enforcement or lien actions; valuation and condition assessments list the airframe at approximately $11,000,000. Routine corporate use and private operations have been indicated by the ownership type and domicile.

The cabin of this specific Latitude is fitted in a typical executive layout supporting two professional flight crewmembers plus an 8–9 passenger executive configuration, generally reported as a 2‑crew + 8–9 passenger arrangement; the published interior includes a forward galley and an aft lavatory with a flat‑floor cabin measuring approximately 21 ft 9 in in length, 77 in in width and 72 in in height. Avionics are equipped with the Garmin G5000 integrated flightdeck suite, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness and modern airspace operations. Typical missions for this airframe align with business and executive point‑to‑point travel across the continental US and transcontinental trips within its 2,700 nm range at cruise speeds near 446 kts, operating from the owner’s Oklahoma City base. Maintenance considerations follow PW300‑series engine support programs and Textron service bulletins applicable to 2016 Latitude airframes.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering a flat‑floor cabin and transcontinental capability that competes with late‑model Embraer Legacy/ Praetor light‑midsize offerings and Bombardier Challenger light variants. With twin PW306D1 engines and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type is favored for corporate charter and owner‑operator missions seeking cabin comfort and efficient cruise. Market considerations for this 2016 airframe include typical mid‑life maintenance cycles, avionics standardization around Garmin G5000, and resale valuation that reflects configuration, maintenance history, and operator records—this unit’s listed value is $11,000,000.
