N964QS Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation Latitude delivers 446-knot cruise speed and 2,700 NM range. N964QS is powered by 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1, each producing 5,907 lbs. This performance envelope covers coast-to-coast U.S. routing and most Caribbean destinations nonstop.
Mission Profile
N964QS's cabin measures 22.0 ft long, 6.4 ft wide, and 6.0 ft tall, seating up to 9. The super-midsize cross-section supports club seating, a conference table, and forward galley and lavatory.
Charter Authorization
N964QS is Part 135 certified for on-demand charter. The Cessna Citation Latitude's transcontinental range and spacious cabin make it one of the most requested super-midsize platforms. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
Operating costs for the Cessna Citation Latitude run $3,200-$4,200 per flight hour. For charter operators like N964QS's certificate holder, the super-midsize category generates strong yield because passengers get heavy-jet comfort at a lower hourly rate.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N964QS is a 2025 Longitude held by Unknown. Textron introduced the Longitude in 2019 as the flagship of the Citation family. This briefing covers charter and acquisition positioning.
Fleet Position
The Longitude fleet is growing rapidly, with approximately 200 delivered since 2019. FAA data shows N964QS based in , . The Longitude competes directly with the Challenger 350 and Praetor 600 for the super-midsize market. Cessna's service network advantage is significant: more authorized service centers than any competing OEM.
Charter Availability
N964QS is Part 135 charter authorized. Longitude charter rates range from $5,000 to $6,500 per flight hour. The Longitude offers the quietest cabin in the super-mid category, which is a measurable differentiator on flights over 3 hours. Passengers who have flown both the Longitude and Challenger 350 consistently cite the noise difference.
Market Position
N964QS is a current-production 2025 Longitude at $28M to $33M (new). Textron continues to refine the platform with each delivery, and production rates are increasing. Delivery positions are 12 to 15 months.
At new pricing, the Longitude undercuts the Challenger 3500 ($28M) by $5M while offering lower projected operating costs. The 3500 counters with Mach 0.83 cruise and Bombardier's smooth ride system. For buyers who prioritize cabin comfort and total cost of ownership, the Longitude wins on data. For buyers who prioritize speed and brand, the Challenger wins on perception.
Mission Profile
Optimized for domestic transcontinental routes where cabin comfort matters more than raw speed. The Longitude's cabin altitude of 5,950 feet at FL450 reduces passenger fatigue on flights over 3 hours. Combined with class-leading cabin noise levels, passengers arrive measurably more rested than on competing super-mids.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the Longitude for transatlantic routes. The 3,500 nm range is adequate for domestic operations but falls short of nonstop New York to London in most conditions. For regular Europe routing, the Challenger 650 or G550 provides the necessary range.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
