N916QS

This entry concerns airframe N916QS, a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude built in 2023 with serial number 680A0337. The jet is owned by corporation ASTRO JET LLC, based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. The airframe entered the 2023 production run and was recorded under corporate ownership without publicized prior operators, and its condition corresponds to a current-market valuation of $16,250,000. No additional notable registry actions beyond the current corporate registration are published.

The cabin of N916QS is arranged in an executive 8–9 passenger layout typical of the Latitude family, operated primarily with 2 crew + 8–9 pax in standard configurations. The onboard avionics suite reflects the typical Latitude fit with Garmin G5000, supporting advanced navigation, flight management and cockpit automation suited to single-pilot relief and two-pilot operations. Operated from Oklahoma City, OK, this airframe is well suited to regional and transcontinental business missions within its 2,700 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 446 kts, commonly flown for executive transport, charter, and corporate shuttle roles. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engine programs and Latitude airframe schedules, with corporate ownership implying centralized maintenance oversight.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size business jet niche, offering a combination of transcontinental range and comfortable executive cabin for up to nine passengers. Competing models include other midsize jets that balance cabin comfort and efficiency; demand among buyers and charter operators remains strong for late-production, low-hour 2023 examples like 680A0337. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine time on the PW306D1 pair and avionics pedigree with Garmin G5000, factors that influence marketability and operating costs for corporate-owned examples such as N916QS.
