N571QS

This entry covers airframe N571QS, a factory-built 2018 example of the mid-size business jet Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0126. The aircraft is recorded in U.S. registration records and is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation listed as co-owned and based in Columbus, OH, US, reflecting its placement within a fractional ownership/operator fleet. There are no public notes of major registry actions beyond standard transfer into the NetJets fleet; the airframe is valued at $15,325,000, consistent with late‑model, well-equipped Latitude examples in operator configuration.

The interior of N571QS is configured in a typical fractional/operator executive layout accommodating two flight crew and up to eight–ten passengers, featuring double‑club seating, a forward divan and an enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics are equipped with the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, supporting advanced flight management, synthetic vision options and operator-centric automation for fractional operations. Operated within the NetJets system, the aircraft is routinely deployed on short- to medium‑haul executive missions across North America, taking advantage of the Latitude’s combination of cabin comfort and efficient cruise speed. Maintenance and dispatch cycles follow fractional operator standards, emphasizing high-utilization inspection schedules and component management consistent with a fleet aircraft.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude series occupies the mid‑size cabin segment, offering a balance of near‑intercontinental range, large stand-up cabin and lower operating costs compared with larger heavy jets. With cruise speeds around 442 kts and a typical mission radius near 2,300 nm, the type competes with aircraft such as the Embraer Praetor/Legacy light‑mids and late‑model Gulfstream turbofan options at shorter ranges. For buyers and fractional operators, considerations include the PW306D1 engine maintenance profile, avionics upgrade pathways like Garmin G5000 enhancements, and residual value trends reflected in valuations near $15.3M for well‑maintained 2018 examples.
