N605QS

This entry covers the specific Cessna 680A Citation Latitude registered as N605QS, a 2021-built airframe bearing serial number 680A0284. The aircraft is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate owner based in Columbus, OH, US, and is registered in the United States. As a recent-production 2021 Latitude with corporate NetJets affiliation, its administrative history is characterized by entry into a fleet operated under corporate/charter structures rather than private one-off ownership. No separate valuation or condition report is published here; the airframe’s contemporary manufacture and fleet ownership typically indicate maintenance under a managed-program model.

The airframe carries a flat-floor executive cabin configured in a typical 8–10 place layout with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, in this case noted as a 10-seat fit consistent with operator usage patterns. Avionics are a Garmin G5000 suite, supporting modern flight-deck automation, navigation, and crew workload reduction suitable for single-pilot capable operation in the Citation Latitude class. Operated within the NetJets corporate structure and registered in the US, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short- to mid-range business and fractional ownership flights, routinely serving transcontinental and regional routes within the aircraft’s 2,700 nm capability. Maintenance and operational oversight are likely performed under centralized fleet programs common to corporate owners, emphasizing dispatch reliability and standardized interiors.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, single-pilot-capable business jet niche with a focus on a flat-floor executive cabin and efficient transcontinental range. With a cruise of 446 kts and service ceiling of 45,000 ft powered by twin PW306D1 engines, it competes with other midsize types offering similar cabin comfort and range. Buyer and charter demand for late-model Latitudes is driven by cabin space and operating economics; fleet-owned examples such as N605QS benefit from programized maintenance and resale considerations tied to documented corporate records. Resale and maintenance considerations for this family hinge on avionics commonality like the Garmin G5000 and the availability of aftermarket support for the PW306D1 powerplants.
