N522QS

This entry covers airframe N522QS, a production Cessna built in 2016 with serial number 680A0060. The airframe is a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc and is recorded as owned by NetJets Sales Inc (a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, USA). The aircraft carries a United States registration and is valued at $14,000,000 in available data, with its configuration and registry reflecting a typical fleet mid‑size executive Citation Latitude of its vintage.

The cabin is described as an executive midsize cabin with the manufacturer‑stated capability to accommodate a stand‑up cabin and roughly 8–10 passengers in typical layouts; the fleet/typical configuration for this airframe includes a forward galley and an aft lavatory. Avionics equip this airframe in a typical Latitude fit with a Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, GTC 570 touchscreen controllers, autothrottles, TCAS II and Class A TAWS, supporting high‑workload single‑pilot or dual‑crew operations. With a cruise speed of 440 kts and a range of 2,700 nm, missions for this aircraft generally span medium‑to‑long regional and transcontinental executive flights operated from its owner/operator base, taking advantage of the 45,000 ft service ceiling for efficient block speeds and favorable flight levels. The aircraft’s ownership by NetJets Sales Inc suggests typical fractional or fleet utilization and associated maintenance and dispatch regimes.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude represented by serial 680A0060 occupies the executive midsize fixed‑wing multi‑engine market, offering a balance of cabin comfort and regional transcontinental capability as reflected in its 2,700 nm range and 440 kts cruise. Powerplant selection of twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engines producing 5,907 lbf each supports the aircraft’s performance envelope and ceiling, while the Garmin G5000 avionics suite aligns with contemporary operator expectations for integrated flight management and safety systems. At a reported value of $14,000,000 for a 2016 build, considerations for buyers and fleet managers typically include lifecycle maintenance planning, avionics standardization, and residual value assessments tied to operator utilization and aftermarket demand.
