N7EA

The airframe with tail number N7EA is a 2024-built Cessna Citation Latitude (Model 680A) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. and bearing serial number 680A0386. The aircraft is registered in the United States as a fixed-wing multi-engine category transport and is owned by EARNHARDT AVIATION LLC, a limited liability company based in Chandler, Arizona. Registered to EARNHARDT AVIATION LLC in Chandler, AZ, US upon delivery, this Latitude is recorded with a contemporary market valuation of $17,000,000, reflecting a new-build configuration and modern avionics fit. No additional notable registry actions or historical operators are published beyond initial delivery and current ownership.

The specific cabin fitted to N7EA follows the Latitude-class typical arrangement with a flat-floor stand-up cabin configured for 9–10 passengers and commonly executed in club or club-plus layouts, including a forward galley and an aft lavatory. Avionics are the Garmin G5000 suite in the Latitude-class fit, providing modern integrated flight decks for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are transcontinental and regional business trips within the aircraft’s 2,700 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 446 kts, operating from the owner’s home base in Chandler, Arizona, or other U.S. hubs. Maintenance considerations align with PW306D1 powerplant schedules and Garmin avionics lifecycle planning; the airframe’s new-configuration status suggests standard warranty and initial maintenance program coverage.

The Cessna Citation Latitude (Model 680A) occupies the mid-size business jet niche with a balance of cabin comfort, range and operating economics sought by owner-operators and charter operators. Competing models typically include other midsize jets offering similar transcontinental capability; demand centers on corporations and charter fleets valuing a flat-floor stand-up cabin and modern avionics such as the Garmin G5000. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine TBO planning for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 units and avionics upgrades over the aircraft lifecycle; the reported valuation of $17,000,000 reflects a 2024 build with contemporary fittings.
