Model & Market Context
This entry covers a specific airframe, N540QS, a 2017-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with manufacturer serial number 680A0083. The airframe was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, with United States registration. Valuation records list the aircraft at $15,325,000, reflecting its 2017 build status and typical condition expectations for a managed fleet platform. No further registry actions or secondary ownership transfers are published in the provided data.
The cabin of this particular Latitude is fitted in a typical 9-place executive layout (club 4 + aft divan / conference; flat-floor, 6.0 ft cabin height) configuration, providing a flat-floor interior and a cabin height of 6.0 ft for executive transport missions. Avionics are installed as a Garmin integrated flightdeck typical for the Latitude, specifically the Garmin G5000, supporting modern flight management, synthetic vision options, and integrated automation for part-task reduced-crew operations. Operated under ownership of NETJETS SALES INC, this airframe is aligned with fractional ownership and on-demand charter mission profiles, including medium-range point-to-point executive travel within the 2,700 nm capability and high-cruise performance at 446 kts. Maintenance considerations typical to this airframe include factory-recommended inspections for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 powerplants and avionics lifecycle management for the G5000 suite.
The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies a mid-size, flat-floor business jet niche offering transcontinental range near 2,700 nm and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, balancing cabin comfort and runway access. Competing models in this class typically include similarly sized flat-floor transports from other manufacturers aiming at corporate and fractional operators; demand is frequently driven by charter and fractional buyers focused on cabin comfort and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for an airframe like N540QS hinge on engine program status for the PW306D1s, completeness of Garmin G5000 avionics updates, and documented operator maintenance under NETJETS SALES INC ownership.
