N563QS

This airframe, registered as N563QS, is a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with manufacturer's serial number 680A0113. It is recorded as owned by NetJets Aviation and held in the United States under corporate ownership; the current operator is listed as NetJets Aviation (corporation, United States). Registry entries for this airframe identify it by the Cessna/Textron type and serial, with ownership retained by a fractional/charter operator rather than an individual private owner. No independent public valuation or explicit recent condition report is published in the supplied data; documented specifics focus on configuration, systems, and operator identity.

The cabin of N563QS is described in typical executive layout terms as a nine-passenger configuration featuring club seating with a forward divan and an aft belted lavatory option, supporting short to medium long-range corporate missions. Avionics fit is a modern Garmin suite, listed as Garmin G5000-class integrated avionics (dual FMS, SVT, GWX radar, TCAS/TA), enabling RNAV/SBAS procedures, advanced situational awareness and weather avoidance for single-pilot-capable operational profiles when crew complements permit. With a 2,700 nm range and a cruise of 446 kts, the airframe suits transcontinental U.S. hops and point-to-point regional international flights from U.S. basing, consistent with the operational model of its corporate owner. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the PW306D1 turbofans and the integrated avionics stack under NetJets’ centralized maintenance and tracking programs.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize business jet category, offering a blend of cabin comfort for nine passengers and transcontinental performance with a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competitors in its market niche typically include other super-midsize/large-cabin jets offering similar range and speed; demand among fractional ownership and charter operators remains strong for models that provide efficient operating costs and versatile routing. For operators and buyers focused on lifecycle costs, examples like N563QS emphasize engine maintenance history (PW306D1 series) and avionics modernization (Garmin G5000-class) as key resale and operational value drivers.
