This airframe, registered N542QS, is a 2017-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0091. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Registry details identify it as a United States-registered fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft; valuation records list the airframe at approximately $14,000,000.

The cabin configuration for this airframe is reported as a typical executive layout accommodating 8–9 passengers in practice, with an overall seating capacity of 10; it features a flat-floor cabin, a forward refreshment center, and an aft lavatory, although specific operator configurations may vary. Avionics are equipped with the Garmin G5000 integrated flightdeck, supporting modern glass cockpit operations and advanced flight management capabilities suitable for corporate and fractional-ownership mission profiles. Operated under corporate ownership by NETJETS SALES INC, the aircraft is commonly employed on regional to transcontinental point-to-point executive transport within the Latitude’s approximate 2,700 nm mission range and cruise cruise speed of 429 kts. Maintenance considerations follow standard Citation Latitude schedules for the airframe and PW306D1 engines, with operator-specific line and heavy checks customary for fleet aircraft.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size business jet niche, offering a flat-floor cabin and transcontinental capability without the costs and runway demands of larger long-range types. Its combination of the PW306D1 powerplants, a 45,000 ft ceiling and an economic cruise near 429 kts positions it against competitors such as the Embraer Praetor/Legacy family and certain Gulfstream light-cabin models. Buyer and charter demand for this class typically emphasizes cabin comfort, operating economics, and fleet support — factors reflected in the airframe’s corporate ownership and its approximate market valuation of $14,000,000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe remain tied to fleet-condition, logbook completeness, and adherence to manufacturer and operator service programs.
