N870QS

This article describes airframe N870QS, a 2024-built example of the Cessna 700 Citation Longitude bearing serial number 700-0126. The aircraft is manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is registered in the United States to FHTT AVIATION LLC, an Oklahoma City, OK–based limited liability company. The airframe’s construction year and serial are current as delivered in 2024, and registry details reflect ownership by FHTT AVIATION LLC without publicly noted prior operators. The fleet asset is valued at $28,000,000 and is configured and declared by its operator for a 14-seat layout.

The cabin of N870QS is fitted with a stand-up flat-floor cabin featuring double-club seating and an operator-declared 14-seat configuration, reflecting a high-density business or charter interior layout. Avionics on the airframe consist of a Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck with autothrottle, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness, and reduced pilot workload for long-range missions. With a range of 3,500 nm and a cruise speed of 483 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and long-range regional operations operated from its Oklahoma City base. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine high-performance turbofan operation using the Honeywell HTF7700L engines, and operator maintenance programs would be tailored to support the 45,000 ft service ceiling and high utilization in charter or corporate roles.

The Cessna 700 Citation Longitude occupies the super-midsize to large-cabin business jet niche, offering intercontinental range and cabin comfort at a price point reflected by the airframe’s $28,000,000 valuation. Competing models in its class typically emphasize similar range and cabin amenities; buyer and charter demand for a 2024-built, low-time airframe like N870QS is driven by reliability of the HTF7700L engine family and the integrated Garmin G5000 avionics suite. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial-numbered airframe note manufacturer support from Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and operator-specific configurations that may affect aftermarket appeal.
