N979QS

This airframe, registered as N979QS, is a 2025-built Cessna 680A Citation Latitude with manufacturer serial number 680A0437, completed by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is recorded in US civil registry and is registered to BELTING BRONCO TOURING INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US. As a current corporate operator aircraft, its documented particulars indicate a standard factory delivery configuration for the Latitude line. No separate public records of major registry actions or valuation adjustments are published for this specific tail number beyond its initial ownership entry.

The airframe is outfitted with a flat-floor, stand-up cabin configured for 2 crew + up to 9–10 passengers, featuring an enclosed lavatory and approximately 127 cu ft of baggage space, consistent with Latitude cabin arrangements. Typical avionics provisioning for this model is the Garmin G5000 suite, noted as the typical Latitude fit for integrated flightdeck functionality and enhanced situational awareness. Operational use for this specific aircraft under corporate ownership is consistent with short-to-medium range business missions, leveraging a cruise speed of 440 kts and a maximum mission radius enabled by a 2,700 nm range. Maintenance and operational considerations follow the twin-engine turbofan architecture of the PW306D1-powered Citation Latitude, with standard factory support channels through Textron Aviation and Pratt & Whitney Canada for airframe and engine servicing.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies the mid-size business turboprop jet segment of Textron’s Citation family with transcontinental capability in many configurations, balancing cabin comfort and operating economics. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and a cruise of 440 kts, it competes with other midsize jets offering flat-floor cabins and similar range in charter and corporate markets. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N979QS typically emphasizes cabin size, range, and integrated avionics such as the Garmin G5000; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine time on wing for the PW306D1 units and adherence to scheduled Textron maintenance programs.
