N548QS

This article covers airframe N548QS, a 2017-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude manufactured by TEXTRON AVIATION INC and bearing serial number 680A0105. The aircraft is registered in the United States with the registration N548QS and is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US; the current ownership is thus held by a fractional/corporate sales entity. The airframe's registry and corporate ownership profile place it in a fleet-management environment rather than private sole ownership. Valuation records list the aircraft at $13,500,000, reflecting its 2017 build year and equipment fit.

The cabin of N548QS is configured in a typical eight–ten passenger centre-club layout with a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory, though operator variations exist and may be applied by the owning corporation. Avionics are fitted with a Garmin G5000-class integrated flight deck, providing advanced flight management, situational awareness and flight-deck automation consistent with modern midsize business jets. Operated from an Oklahoma City corporate base by its owner entity, the aircraft is suitable for domestic and transcontinental missions within its 2,700 nm range and a cruise speed of 440 kts, commonly used for point-to-point business travel and fractional-ownership flight legs. Maintenance and operational considerations follow corporate fleet standards given the aircraft’s configuration and manufacturer provenance.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize category for fixed-wing multi-engine business jets, offering transcontinental range paired with a cabin sized for up to 10 passengers. Competing models in its performance niche emphasize cabin comfort, efficiency and lower operating costs relative to larger long-range types. Buyer and charter demand typically favors examples with modern avionics suites such as the Garmin G5000-class, and fleet ownership by entities like NETJETS SALES INC affects resale liquidity and maintenance history transparency. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2017 vintage, corporate ownership, and the installed Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engines.
