Overview

This write-up documents the specific airframe N168PX, a 2004-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0002. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Citadel Aviation Investments LLC, a corporate owner based in Las Vegas, NV, US. The aircraft carries a standard US registry entry under N168PX and is identified in records by its early serial sequence as the second Sovereign built. Registered to a corporate owner in Las Vegas, this airframe is representative of early-production Citation Sovereigns in corporate inventory.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this airframe follows a typical nine-place executive layout with a forward refreshment center, a forward single side-facing seat plus a four-place club forward, and a four-place club aft; listings commonly show an aft non-belted lavatory for this configuration. Avionics aboard N168PX are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic system, supporting modern flight management, integrated displays, and enhanced situational awareness consistent with business-jet operational profiles. With a 3,010 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed, this aircraft is suited to transcontinental and regional business missions, executive transport, and on-demand charter sectors operating from the owner’s US base. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe will follow PW306C engine schedules and common Citation Sovereign airframe checks.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize business-jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, high cruise speed, and a 47,000 ft service ceiling that enable efficient point-to-point corporate operations. It competes in markets where buyers or charter operators seek a balance of cabin comfort for up to nine passengers and long-range capability without stepping into large-cabin categories. Early-production airframes such as serial 680-0002 can command attention for maintenance and avionics update histories; resale and charter demand typically reflect the aircraft’s configuration, hours, and adherence to recommended PW306C engine and Honeywell avionics support programs.
