F-HSAO Aircraft Overview
F-HSAO is a Cessna Citation Latitude registered in France with serial number 680A-0075. The Cessna Citation Latitude occupies the super-midsize category, bridging the performance gap between traditional midsize jets and large-cabin heavy platforms. The aircraft is associated with Ixair, registered through the DGAC.
Cessna Citation Latitude Market Position
The Citation Latitude brought a flat-floor, stand-up cabin to Cessna's lineup in 2015. At 2,700 nautical miles of range, it sits at the lower end of the super-midsize category but offers cabin dimensions that compete with aircraft costing significantly more. Garmin G5000 avionics and Pratt & Whitney PW306D1 engines are standard.
Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation Latitude cruises at 446 knots and achieves a maximum range of 2,700 nautical miles. That envelope covers coast-to-coast U.S. routes and most Caribbean or Central American destinations nonstop from mainland airports. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1. A 45,000-foot service ceiling keeps the aircraft above congested airspace and most weather systems.
Mission Profile
Super-midsize jets fill a specific operational gap: passengers who need transcontinental range and a stand-up cabin without the acquisition and operating costs of a heavy jet. The Cessna Citation Latitude seats up to 9 in a flat-floor cabin with enough room for a productive work environment or comfortable rest on legs exceeding four hours.

Insider Note
Super-midsize jets often operate from the same runway lengths as midsize aircraft but carry significantly more fuel and payload. For operators considering an upgrade from a midsize platform, the super-mid category delivers measurably more range without requiring access to longer runways.
