N967QS

This entry covers airframe N967QS, a factory-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude completed in 2025 with serial number 680A0421 and United States registration. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc and is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC (a corporation based in Columbus, OH, US), indicating placement within a fractional ownership or fleet sales channel. The airframe’s registration and ownership record reflect standard commercial registry actions associated with fleet acquisitions, and the type is listed in the fixed‑wing multi‑engine category. Current valuation for this specific aircraft is recorded at $17,000,000, consistent with late‑model Citation Latitude examples outfitted for corporate or fractional operations.

The cabin of N967QS follows the model’s typical arrangement with a center‑club layout suitable for 8–10 passengers, a forward galley and a fully enclosed lavatory, and a flat floor throughout the cabin, supporting executive transport and short‑to‑mid‑range business missions. Avionics are equipped with the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, aligning the airframe with modern cockpit automation and situational awareness standards used in high‑utilization fleet operation. Operated from the owner’s home base context in Columbus, OH, the aircraft is mission‑profiled for regional and transcontinental business trips within its 2,700 nm range and typical cruise of 446 kts, with operational considerations focused on fractional service scheduling, routine fleet maintenance, and lifecycle cost monitoring.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize business turbofan segment, offering transcontinental range and a standup cabin at a cruise speed near 446 kts and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, making it competitive for owner/operators and fractional providers. Primary competitors include other midsize jets from competing manufacturers that target comfort and operating economics; fleet purchasers such as NETJETS SALES INC prioritize dispatch reliability, commonality, and resale value. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe model center on engine program enrollments for the PW306D1 powerplants and avionics lifecycle (notably the Garmin G5000), factors which influence operational cost and market demand for late‑build examples like 680A0421.
