N549QS

This entry covers airframe N549QS, a 2017-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with manufacturer's serial number 680A0098. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned under a fractional/co-owned arrangement; the specific owner name and home base are not published. There are no publicly noted registry actions or transfers beyond its build and U.S. registration in 2017. The airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $12,750,000 as a mid‑life Latitude with standard factory fit and Garmin avionics.

The cabin of N549QS is a flat‑floor, 6‑ft stand‑up configuration arranged in a typical executive layout for 9–10 passengers: forward refreshment center, a 2‑place divan, a 4‑place club seating group, and an aft belted lavatory. Avionics are listed as the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern autopilot, flight management and situational awareness capabilities common to the type. Operationally, this airframe suits short to mid‑range corporate missions and fractional use across continental U.S. sectors consistent with its 2,700 nm range and high‑cruise speed of 446 kts; specific operator base and routine routes are not published. Maintenance considerations follow the Latitude program for twin PW306D1 powerplants and Garmin G5000 avionics baseline.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid‑size, flat‑floor business turbofan niche, offering transcontinental capability without the operational cost of larger heavy jets. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engines producing 5,907 lbf each, it competes with aircraft such as the Embraer Praetor/Legacy series and Bombardier Challenger light‑interiors on passenger comfort and range. Buyer and charter demand for late‑model (2017) Latitudes remains focused on cabin comfort, avionics modernity and fractional availability; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine time, Garmin G5000 lifecycle, and condition reflected in an approximate valuation of $12,750,000 for this specific airframe.
