N988QS

This entry covers the airframe registered as N988QS, serial number 680A0458, a Cessna 680A Citation Latitude. The aircraft is owned by NetJets, a United States-based corporation, and is operated under U.S. registry. Build year not published; likewise, no notable registry actions published for this specific tail have been recorded in the supplied data. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the provided dataset.

The airframe features a flat-floor, stand-up executive cabin arranged in a typical 8–9 passenger layout with an enclosed lavatory and a refreshment center, suited to short- to medium-haul business travel. Avionics are installed as a Garmin G5000 suite, supporting modern flightdeck automation and situational awareness for the flight crew. With a long-range of 2,700 nm and a cruise speed of 446 kts, this Citation Latitude tail is typically employed on corporate and fractional ownership missions consistent with NetJets’ charter and fleet operations, serving transcontinental and high-frequency regional missions from U.S.-based operator hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would reflect the installed twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 powerplants and the certification and support environment associated with Textron Aviation airframes.

The Cessna 680A Citation Latitude occupies a mid-size business jet niche characterized by a stand-up cabin, transcontinental range, and efficient cruise performance—represented here by 2,700 nm range and 446 kts cruise speed. Competing models in the category typically include other midsize jets offering similar cabin comfort and range; buyer and charter demand tends to favor aircraft with proven fractional-ownership support, such as fleets operated by NetJets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model generally hinge on avionics standardization (here Garmin G5000) and the service network for the PW306D1 engines, both of which influence operating costs and marketability.
