N895QS

The airframe bearing tail number N895QS is a Cessna Citation Longitude (Model 700), serial number 700-0159, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. It is owned by TEXTRON AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Wichita, KS, US, and is U.S.-registered. The airframe is powered and maintained to the factory configuration; no public build year or transfer history has been published, and no notable registry actions have been recorded in available data. The manufacturer's list valuation for this specific configuration is $24,000,000, reflecting its role as a purpose-built super-midsize business jet in active company service.

The aircraft features a stand-up, flat-floor cabin with standard double‑club seating configured to the manufacturer's typical 9–12 passenger executive layout and a maximum occupancy of 12, supporting corporate transport and long-range point-to-point missions. The integrated Garmin G5000 flight deck equipped with autothrottles provides modern avionics capability for single- or two-pilot IFR operations and reduced crew workload on long cruise segments. Based at Wichita, KS, the airframe is well suited to executive shuttle missions across the continental U.S. and transcontinental trips within its 3,500 nm range, offering a cruise of roughly 483 knots to balance speed and fuel efficiency. Maintenance and operational considerations align with factory support from Textron Aviation Inc and Honeywell engine services under typical corporate program schedules.

As a Cessna Citation Longitude (Model 700), this airframe occupies the super-midsize category, offering transcontinental capability without the operating costs of larger long-range bizjets. Competitors in the segment include late-model large-cabin midsize types that target owner-operators and fractional/charter fleets. Demand among corporate operators and charter providers emphasizes cabin comfort, range, and modern avionics—attributes evident in this serial-equipped, factory-owned example. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect manufacturer support, engine type commonality, and the airframe's valuation at approximately $24,000,000.
