Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N1ZC is a 2006-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, serial number 680-0085, registered in the United States. The aircraft is owned by Zachry Industrial Inc, a corporate operator based in San Antonio, TX, US, and is maintained in an executive configuration consistent with its corporate operator profile. The current record reflects its continuous U.S. registration and corporate ownership; listed on the U.S. civil aircraft registry under corporate ownership.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is outfitted in a typical 8-9 place executive cabin layout, with double-club seating common for this configuration, accommodating up to 9 passengers in an executive transport role. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus EPIC / Epic CDS, supporting advanced flight management and cockpit integration for the type. Operated from a San Antonio, TX corporate base, the airframe’s operating profile is consistent with medium- to long-range executive missions up to its published 2,820 nm range and high-speed cruise capability near 446 kts. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines delivering 6,040 lbf each provide the performance and climb capability associated with the Sovereign’s 47,000 ft ceiling, enabling high-altitude cruise typical for corporate shuttle and point-to-point business missions.

Model & Market Context

This specific airframe is a member of the Cessna (Textron Aviation) Citation Sovereign family, positioned as a mid-size, long-range business jet offering transcontinental capability for corporate operators. In the marketplace, the Sovereign competes with other mid-to-large cabin, long-range business jets that emphasize a blend of range, cruise speed, and executive comfort. For operators and buyers, considerations tied to this airframe include lifecycle support for the Honeywell Primus EPIC avionics suite and ongoing maintenance for the PW306C powerplants, as well as the implications of corporate ownership on mission utilization and maintenance scheduling.
