N166HL2005 Cessna Citation Sovereign

Overview

This airframe, registered N166HL, is a 2005-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0035. The aircraft is owned by the corporation Park Associates Inc, based in East Aurora, NY, US, and appears on U.S. registration records under that corporate operator. Registry and operator details indicate conventional corporate operation from its home base in New York, with no additional notable transfers publicly listed in the provided data.

Operations & Cabin

The listed cabin for this airframe is an executive 8-9 passenger layout featuring a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, representing the typical configuration for this manufacturer serial/operator listing. Avionics fit is noted as Honeywell Primus Epic, consistent with original Sovereign equipment, while later Sovereign+ options are available on some airframes (noted as an upgrade path rather than a confirmed modification for this specific serial). Mission profiles for this Sovereign airframe align with corporate and charter use: transcontinental and regional U.S. flights, high-speed cruise at 446 kts, and operations up to 47,000 ft for favorable fuel and weather avoidance. Maintenance considerations center on twin PW306C turbofans and corporate interior upkeep consistent with its executive configuration and age.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-size business jet niche characterized by long-range transcontinental capability (approximately 2,829 nm) combined with high cruise speed and a high-altitude ceiling. Its performance metrics, 446 kts cruise and 47,000 ft ceiling, support demanding corporate missions where speed and airport flexibility are important. Resale and maintenance considerations for operators should account for engine maintenance cycles, interior refurbishment typical for mid-2000s business jets, and optional avionics or performance upgrades available within the Sovereign family.
