N21ME is a Cessna Citation Latitude, a twin-engine jet. SkyMeter has tracked 106 flights totalling 129 hours of airtime via ADS-B across 3 callsigns. The most frequent segment is K8A0 to K8A0. Service window in our records spans 122 days. Of those flights, 4 (3.8%) carry at least one detected incident — go-around, unstable approach, stall warning, or runway excursion. The Cessna Citation Latitude has a 72 ft wingspan, a maximum takeoff weight of 30,800 lb. The Cessna Citation Latitude is a midsize business jet that entered service in 2015, designed to bridge the gap between light and super-midsize categories with a focus on cabin comfort and operational efficiency. Built by Textron Aviation, the Latitude features a flat-floor cabin that's unusually wide for its class—six feet across—and can seat up to nine passengers in a configuration that prioritizes legroom and stand-up headroom. It was engineered as a direct competitor to the Embraer Praetor 500 and Bombardier Challenger 350, offering transcontinental range of approximately 2,700 nautical miles while burning less fuel than older midsize jets. The aircraft's Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D1 engines deliver 5,907 pounds of thrust each, enabling a maximum cruise speed of 446 knots and a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. The Latitude became one of Cessna's fastest-selling Citations, with over 400 delivered by 2024, thanks in part to its Garmin G5000 avionics suite and autothrottle system—features that were relatively advanced for the midsize segment when introduced. Fractional operators like NetJets adopted the type in significant numbers, valuing its dispatch reliability and operating economics on routes where a super-midsize jet would be overkill. The aircraft's wing design incorporates natural laminar flow technology to reduce drag, and its trailing-link main landing gear provides smoother touchdowns on shorter runways, making it suitable for both major airports and smaller regional fields. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
