N953QS

The airframe bearing tail number N953QS is a 2024-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude, serial number 680A0397, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc.. The aircraft is owned by Great South Bay LLC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is maintained and operated in accordance with its US registration. The airframe’s contemporary build year and Garmin-equipped avionics package position this specific Citation Latitude as a modern executive transport within the late-production 680A series. Notable registry information includes its United States registration and corporate ownership structure under Great South Bay LLC.

This airframe is fitted in a typical executive flat-floor layout for 8–9 passengers, featuring a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory consistent with Citation Latitude cabin standards. The installed avionics suite is the Garmin G5000, supporting modern flight management, touchscreen control, and enhanced situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operations as configured by the operator. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include medium- to long-range executive or corporate missions up to its 2,700 nm range and high-speed cruise of 446 kts, operating out of the owner’s base in Oklahoma City, OK. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft reflect standard PW306D1 engine care intervals and Garmin systems support, as expected for a 2024-model airframe.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, transcontinental range, and single-pilot capable avionics. With twin PW306D1 engines and a 45,000 ft ceiling, it competes with other midsize jets in range and speed while emphasizing a flat-floor executive cabin for charter and owner-operator appeal. Buyer and charter demand for late-build Latitudes benefits from modern avionics like the Garmin G5000 and recent manufacture dates such as 2024, which can reduce near-term maintenance and avionics upgrade costs and support stronger resale prospects relative to older airframes.
