N665QS

This entry documents airframe N665QS, a factory-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude delivered in 2019 with serial number 680A0201. The aircraft is owned and operated by NetJets Aviation, a corporation based in the United States, and carries a United States registration. Registry and operator data indicate this airframe functions as part of a fractional and charter-style fleet under corporate ownership; valuation records list the airframe at $16,250,000. Condition highlights follow the standard executive transport configuration and avionics fit typical for the model year.

The cabin of N665QS reflects the Citation Latitude’s typical executive interior with a typical 8–9 place executive layout, including a flat floor, stand-up cabin, a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, and an approximate cabin length of ~21 ft 9 in. The flight deck is equipped with the Garmin G5000 integrated avionics suite (Garmin PlaneView/G5000), supporting modern single-pilot and two-pilot IFR operations and enhanced situational awareness for charter and corporate missions. Operated by NetJets Aviation, the aircraft commonly performs short- to mid-range transcontinental missions within the aircraft’s 2,700 nm capability and is suited to point-to-point executive transport between business centers. Maintenance and operational considerations follow the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engine program and factory-recommended service intervals for the Citation Latitude series.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, flat-floor business turbofan niche with a balance of cabin comfort and regional/intercontinental capability. With cruise speeds near 446 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, it competes against other midsize business jets offering stand-up cabins and similar ranges. For corporate fleet operators such as NetJets, demand typically centers on fleet utilization, dispatch reliability, and lifecycle maintenance costs tied to the PW306D1 engines; resale considerations reflect the 2019 build year, avionics modernization with Garmin G5000, and cumulative fractional-operator maintenance history.
