N932QS

This entry covers airframe N932QS, a factory-new airliner-class business turbofan delivered in 2023 as serial number 680A0361. The aircraft is a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is operated by NetJets Aviation with the registered owner withheld (FAA privacy) under a fractional/corporation structure based in the United States. The jet carries a US registration and is valued at approximately $19,000,000, reflecting a current-market appraisal for a late-build Latitude in near-new condition. There are no publicly recorded unusual registry actions beyond the customary fractional-ownership arrangements and privacy-protected registration.

The cabin of N932QS is configured in a typical 8–10 passenger club configuration with a flat floor, a forward refreshment center, and an aft enclosed lavatory, and provides 127 cu ft of baggage volume; the documented seating count is 10. The flight deck utilizes the Garmin G5000 integrated avionics suite, supporting modern situational awareness and automation for the aircraft’s mission set. As a NetJets Aviation-operated fractional asset, the Latitude is commonly employed on regional to transcontinental missions within the operator’s U.S. network, exploiting its 2,700 nm range and 446 kt cruise speed for point-to-point corporate and charter legs. Maintenance and operational oversight follow NetJets’ centralized program, with fractional ownership and FAA privacy protections noted in the registration record.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize business jet niche with a balance of cabin comfort, short-field capability, and efficient twin-fan performance; this airframe’s PW306D1 engines provide roughly 5,907 lbf thrust each, supporting a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the same market band include offerings from Bombardier and Embraer that target similar range and cabin-size buyers. For fractional operators and corporate buyers, Latitudes like N932QS present attractive operational economics, a contemporary avionics fit (Garmin G5000), and stable resale prospects—factors that underpin the stated $19,000,000 valuation for a 2023-built example. Maintenance considerations follow manufacturer schedules for PW300-series engines and Garmin-integrated systems, with fractional-operation cycles typically accelerating calendar-based inspections relative to private single-owner examples.
