N972QS

This airframe, N972QS, is a 2025-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0426. It is registered in the United States and entered co-ownership under H O Penn Machinery Co Inc (c/o NetJets Sales Inc), based in Oklahoma City, OK, US. The airframe carries a modern avionics and cabin fit consistent with new-production Latitudes and shows no public record of major registry actions beyond its initial issuance of U.S. registration. Ownership is recorded as a co-ownership managed through a major fractional/charter reseller, reflecting common fleet-management arrangements for this model.

The cabin of this specific aircraft features a flat-floor, 6 ft stand-up configuration with a typical executive layout and is listed with 10 seats in the registry, though the OEM-configurable layout supports up to nine passenger seating arrangements. The flight deck is equipped with a Garmin G5000 touchscreen avionics suite, specifically noted as G5000 with SVT, autothrottles, FMS, enabling high levels of situational awareness and automated flight management consistent with modern single-pilot or two-pilot business jet operations. Typical missions for this airframe reflect the Latitude’s regional to continental capability—business travel across ranges up to 2,700 nm at cruise speeds near 446 kts—operated from its Oklahoma City base under co-ownership arrangements that often combine private use with fractional or charter scheduling. Maintenance considerations align with factory support by Textron Aviation Inc and Pratt & Whitney Canada engine support programs for PW306D1 powerplants.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, transcontinental business-jet niche, offering a stand-up cabin, flat floor, and single-class executive layout attractive to corporate and fractional operators. With twin PW306D1 engines producing 5,907 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type competes with other midsize jets in range and speed while emphasizing cabin comfort and operating economics. Demand in the marketplace typically comes from owner-operators, charter companies, and fractional providers; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2025 airframe benefit from new-production status, factory warranties/support from Textron Aviation Inc, and existing avionics and engine program infrastructures.
