N970QS

This entry documents airframe N970QS, a 2025-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude, serial 680A0424, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). The aircraft is owned by ALAN JAY AUTOMOTIVE MANAGEMENT INC (c/o NetJets Sales Inc) and is registered in the US, with the owner recorded in Oklahoma City, OK, US. The record for this registration notes a current market valuation of $19,000,000; no other registry actions are published for this airframe in the provided data. Operated in a corporate/executive role, the 2025 build year places this airframe at the newest end of the model range covered here.

The cabin on this registration is described as a flat-floor executive cabin with a listed configuration of 10 seats, while the typical Latitude fit is a 9-place executive layout; operator configurations may vary. Avionics for the type are typically the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck, which is consistent with modern operator expectations for integrated flight management, navigation, and synthetic vision features. Typical missions for this airframe, given its 2,700 nm range and 446 kt cruise, include transcontinental and regional corporate flights; the aircraft’s high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling support efficient, long-range business travel profiles. Maintenance considerations for a 2025 airframe are standard for new-build Citation Latitudes, with operator-specific programs managed through the owner ALAN JAY AUTOMOTIVE MANAGEMENT INC (c/o NetJets Sales Inc).

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size, flat-floor executive turbofan niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and range suitable for corporate owners and fractional operators. Competing in its class, the Latitude is positioned against other super-midsize and large-cabin business jets where buyers prioritize cabin volume, operating economics, and integrated avionics such as the Garmin G5000. For this specific 2025 airframe, the new-build status and a listed value of $19,000,000 support strong demand in owner/operator and fractional markets; resale prospects and maintenance planning reflect contemporary support from the manufacturer and engine OEM for the PW306D1 powerplants.
