Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N978QS, is a 2025-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with serial number 680A0436, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is listed as co-owned by Fly Beckys Air LLC c/o NetJets Sales Inc and is associated with Oklahoma City, OK, US as its operator/home base. The airframe carries a US registration and, as a current-production-model 2025 build, is valued at $22,000,000 reflecting contemporary market pricing and new-aircraft condition. Notable administrative detail: the ownership is recorded as co-owned with sales management handled by NetJets Sales Inc.
The cabin of this specific Citation Latitude is fitted with a flat-floor executive cabin and a cabin height of 6.0 ft, arranged in a typical 9–10 passenger executive layout while the aircraft is certified for 10 seats. Avionics conform to the Latitude standard, equipped with a Garmin G5000-class suite as the manufacturer specification, supporting modern single-pilot or two-pilot operational concepts and advanced flight management capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range corporate and charter operations within the 2,700 nm performance band, enabling transcontinental missions in the continental US from its Oklahoma City base. Maintenance considerations align with PW306D1 turbofan support structures and Textron service networks for a 2025 model under ownership managed through NetJets Sales.
The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the midsize, flat-floor executive turbofan niche, offering transcontinental range and a high single-cruise speed of 446 kts with a 45,000 ft ceiling. It competes with similarly sized midsize jets in buyer and charter demand for corporate shuttle, owner-operator, and managed fleet roles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2025 airframe factor in modern avionics (Garmin G5000-class), manufacturer support from Textron Aviation Inc, and engine support for twin PW306D1 units, all of which influence operating economics and residual value.
