N681CL

The airframe bearing tail number N681CL is a production example of the Cessna 680A Citation Latitude owned by Textron Aviation. Registered in the US, this specific aircraft has remained in manufacturer ownership and operation, often used to represent the model in factory demonstrations and internal mission profiles. Retained by its manufacturer-owner for operational and demonstration duties, the airframe has been subject to standard Textron Aviation registry actions and corporate maintenance oversight. Condition and valuation notes are maintained within corporate records and reflect typical factory-backed maintenance status for a demonstrator/owner-operated latitude airframe.

The cabin of N681CL is fitted in the typical executive configuration for the Latitude line, accommodating a 7–9 passenger layout with center club and forward divan options available, and the specific demonstrator arrangement generally configured for nine seats. Avionics aboard this airframe follow the typical Latitude fit with the Garmin G5000 suite, supporting modern flight-deck automation and situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical missions for this aircraft emphasize point-to-point business and corporate transport within its 2,700 nm range and high-cruise speed envelope, often supporting transcontinental and region-to-region charter or manufacturer demonstration flights. Maintenance and operational oversight are conducted under Textron Aviation’s corporate programs, aligning the airframe with factory recommended inspection intervals and support resources.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, super-midsize light business jet niche as a fixed-wing multi-engine platform, offering a balance of cabin comfort and transcontinental capability with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise speeds near 446 kts. Competing models typically include other purpose-built midsize business jets that target owner-operators and charter fleets seeking 7–9 passenger cabin layouts and modern avionics like the Garmin G5000. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor airframes with factory-maintained histories; as a manufacturer-owned example, N681CL benefits from demonstrable maintenance provenance, which can positively influence resale and leasing considerations within the pre-owned market.
