N929QS

This article profiles airframe N929QS, a 2023-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with manufacturer designation Textron Aviation Inc and serial number 680A0358. The airframe is owned by ALOHA SWISS LLC (c/o NetJets Sales Inc) and is registered in the US, with operational ties to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where the owner/operator is based. Delivered new in 2023, the aircraft carries a recorded market valuation of $16,250,000 and reflects contemporary state-of-build configuration and equipment for the Latitude line. There are no additional registry actions publicly noted beyond initial registration under the current corporate ownership.

The aircraft features a flat-floor executive cabin, typically fitted for 8–9 passengers in forward/aft club seating with an enclosed lavatory and internal baggage configuration consistent with factory and large fractional operator interiors. The integrated flight deck is equipped with a Garmin G5000 avionics suite, supporting modern glass cockpit operations, advanced flight management, and coupled autopilot approaches common in business turbine operations. Operated by a corporate entity associated with fractional or charter sales, typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range executive transport and transcontinental trips within the 2,700 nm capability and cruise speeds around 446 kts. Maintenance considerations follow manufacturer and engine type schedules for PW306D1 powerplants and Textron service intervals, with particular attention to systems tied to the G5000 integrated avionics.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize cabin niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance and operating economics relative to larger heavy jets. With a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft and a transcontinental range, it competes with similar midsize offerings from other manufacturers aimed at owner-operators and fractional/charter fleets. Demand in the pre-owned and fractional market favors low-time, well-equipped examples; this 2023, low-calendar-age airframe with Garmin G5000 equipage and relatively recent PW306D1 powerplants supports stronger resale and charter appeal, while maintenance and resale considerations center on engine program enrollment and avionics supportability.
