N578QS

This airframe, registered as N578QS, is a 2018-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with manufacturer serial number 680A0135 constructed by Textron Aviation Inc. The jet is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, United States, and is U.S.-registered. The airframe carries the typical post-delivery configuration for a Latitude of its vintage and was valued at $16,250,000 in available data. No additional registry actions are published here beyond the stated ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin of this specific Latitude is outfitted in a typical 8–10 passenger executive layout featuring a forward refreshment center, a mid-cabin four-place club arrangement, an aft belted lavatory seat and a fully enclosed lavatory, providing mixed seating and utility suitable for short to medium international hops. Avionics are provided by the integrated Garmin G5000 flight deck, supporting modern flight-management, situational awareness and autothrottle capabilities consistent with operator NetJets’ fleet standards. Operationally the aircraft’s 2,700 nm range and 446 kt cruise speed make it well suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and point-to-point business travel; maintenance and usage profiles are those typical of fractional/managed fleet operation under a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City. Routine maintenance and inspection schedules would follow Textron and Pratt & Whitney recommendations for the Citation Latitude and PW306D1 engines.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size, purpose-built business-jet niche between light and large-cabin jets, offering competitive cruise speed, range and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Against competing models, the Latitude is positioned for operators seeking a cabin-focused interior with transcontinental capability without stepping up to the heavier, more costly large-cabin types. For a fleet-owned example such as N578QS, resale considerations reflect the airframe’s 2018 build year, avionics fit, and fractional-operator provenance; maintenance records and hours on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engines will be principal factors in valuation and buyer demand.
