N858MG

This entry covers airframe N858MG, a 2014-build Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0002. The airframe was constructed by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is owned by MGI AIR INC, a corporate owner based in Dubuque, IA, US. The aircraft carries a United States registration and presents as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet valued at approximately $13,500,000. Notable administrative highlights include its corporate registration and home-base linkage to Dubuque, Iowa, which are relevant to operator basing and regulatory oversight.

The cabin of N858MG is fitted in a standard 9-passenger executive layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, reflecting the typical Latitude interior and supporting corporate transport missions. Avionics are provided by Garmin G5000, enabling integrated flightdeck capabilities suited to single-pilot or two-pilot operational profiles common to this type. With a 2,700 nm range and a 446-knot cruise speed, typical missions for this airframe center on regional to transcontinental business travel, point-to-point charters, and corporate repositioning flights originating from its Dubuque base. Maintenance considerations follow factory systems for the PW306D1 engines and Garmin avionics suite; as a 2014 serial 680A0002, lifecycle and component tracking align with expected inspection intervals for mid-life Citation Lattitude airframes.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size business turbofan niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, range, and operating economics suited to owner-operators and charter operators. With a cruise of 446 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with similarly sized offerings from Bombardier and Embraer in markets prioritizing short transcontinental capability and cabin utility. Buyers and operators typically emphasize avionics standardization (here, Garmin G5000), engine maintenance history for the PW306D1 powerplants, and resale positioning influenced by configuration (notably the 9-passenger executive layout) and the documented ownership/registration record of this specific airframe.
