N768LP

The airframe bearing tail number N768LP is a 2015-built example of the Cessna Citation Latitude (680A), serial 680A0009, produced by Textron Aviation Inc. Acquired and operated by Jacob Stern & Sons, Inc. of Santa Barbara, CA, US, the aircraft is registered in the US and maintained in an executive configuration consistent with factory delivery standards. The airframe retains a professional private/corporate operational profile with an estimated market valuation of $14,500,000, reflecting a late-model Latitude in typical corporate service and current industry resale comparables.

This specific Latitude is fitted with the factory stand-up cabin and flat floor layout configured to a typical executive arrangement for eight to nine passengers, featuring a center club, forward and rear seating groups, and an aft lavatory; the cabin also includes a large baggage area suitable for extended missions. Avionics fit follows the Latitude standard with the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck including synthetic vision technology, dual FMS, TAWS Class A, and TCAS II, supporting robust situational awareness and modern airline-style route capability. Typical mission profiles for N768LP include coast-to-coast U.S. corporate transport and regional international hops within the aircraft’s 2,700 nm range at a cruise near 446 kts, operating from the owner’s Santa Barbara base or nearby general aviation terminals. Maintenance considerations align with PW306D1 engine fleet practices and Garmin G5000 avionics support; large baggage volume and stand-up cabin favor charter and business-owner flexibility.

The Cessna Citation Latitude (680A) occupies the midsize, flat-floor business turbofan segment, offering transcontinental range and high-speed cruise relative to light-cabin competitors. Competing models include other midsize jets offering similar cabin comfort and payload-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand for late-model Latitudes has been supported by its roomier cabin and modern avionics fit. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect airframe/engine time, Garmin G5000 avionics status, and the broader used-market pricing that places a 2015 Latitude like N768LP near the provided valuation.
