N596QS

This entry covers airframe N596QS, a 2018-build Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with manufacturer serial number 680A0153. The aircraft was produced by Textron Aviation Inc and is recorded as owned by NetJets Sales Inc (corporation), based in Oklahoma City, OK, US . The airframe carries a United States registration and is appraised at $14,000,000 in current valuation records. Registry entries indicate this airframe is a late-build Latitude with the configuration and systems typical for its production year.

Airframe N596QS is configured for two crew and a passenger cabin accommodating eight to nine executive passengers, with a forward galley, club seating, an aft lavatory and a flat floor throughout the cabin. The typical late-build Latitude avionics fit for this airframe is the Garmin G5000, supporting modern flight-deck integration and enhanced situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Operated from its owner’s base in Oklahoma City, OK, the aircraft’s performance—particularly its transcontinental range and 446-knot cruise—suits point-to-point business travel, owner/CEO transport and fractional ownership mission profiles. Maintenance planning aligns with OEM schedules for the PW306D1 engines and airframe condition tracking consistent with corporate fleet management practices.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size, long-range business turbofan niche, offering cabin comfort and transcontinental capability with an advertised range of 2,850 nm and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. In market terms, the Latitude competes with other mid-size jets focused on executive comfort and efficient operating costs; common comparators include products from Embraer and Bombardier in similar mission classes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the benefits of corporate ownership and factory-built late-production avionics fits, which can support stronger residuals relative to older production examples.
