N679QS

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing registration N679QS, a 2020-built Cessna Citation Latitude designated Cessna Citation Latitude (Model 680A) with serial number 680A0257. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation (Cessna) and is registered in the United States to the corporate owner NetJets Sales Inc of Oklahoma City, OK, US, reflecting its role within a managed fleet environment. No public record of other ownership transfers or notable registry actions is listed for this airframe; valuation data for the airframe places the unit at $17,500,000, indicating a late-production, relatively modern configuration and market positioning. The airframe is configured and certified in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and carries U.S. registration.

The cabin of this specific Latitude reflects a typical executive layout for the type, described as a 9–10 passenger arrangement with a flat floor, forward galley, and aft lavatory within a stand-up circular fuselage, supporting short- to medium-haul corporate and charter sectors. Avionics are fitted with the Garmin G5000 integrated flightdeck, providing automated flight management, touchscreen controllers, and advanced situational awareness suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations as per operator procedures. Operated by NetJets Sales Inc, the aircraft is used in a fractional ownership/managed-fleet context, typically flying business point-to-point missions within its 2,700 nm range and at cruise speeds near 446 kts, with operational ceilings up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance and support would follow manufacturer and corporate program schedules appropriate for a 2020 airframe with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series engines.

The Cessna Citation Latitude (Model 680A) occupies the midsize, flat-floor executive turbofan niche, offering a balance of range, cabin comfort, and operating economics for corporate and fractional operators. Competitors in this performance bracket include other midsize business jets that prioritize flat-floor cabins and similar regional-range capability; the Latitude’s combination of the PW306D1 engines and Garmin G5000 avionics targets buyers seeking modern systems integration and reliable performance. From a resale and maintenance perspective, this airframe’s 2020 build year and corporate ownership by NetJets Sales Inc support strong maintenance pedigree, but market value considerations will reflect hours, cycles, and program enrollment tied to the stated $17,500,000 valuation.
