N105CD

This entry describes airframe N105CD, a 2014-built business jet, serial 680-0523, configured and marketed as a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+. The airframe was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna Aircraft Company) and is owned by BJR Management LLC, a corporate owner based in Goldsboro, NC, US, which serves as its principal operator/home base. There are no publicly noted registry actions or change-of-ownership events beyond the documented corporate ownership. The airframe is valued at $10,400,000 and is maintained to typical light business jet standards for its model year and mission profile.

The cabin of N105CD follows the Sovereign+ typical fit: a 9-place executive double-club configuration with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, supporting executive transport and short to mid-range corporate missions. The installed avionics package aligns with the Sovereign+ options, featuring the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck as a typical fit or upgrade, enabling advanced situational awareness and reduced crew workload on IFR routes. With a cruise of 446 kts and a range of 2,820 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and medium-haul missions operating from its corporate base in Goldsboro, NC, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin PW306D engine commonality and standard airframe service requirements for a 2014 Sovereign+.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ occupies the mid-size, transcontinental business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s product line, offering higher payload and range than light jets while maintaining single-pilot-capable type operations in many configurations. Competing models in the segment typically include similarly sized jets from other OEMs that prioritize range near 2,800–3,000 nm and high cruise speeds; the Sovereign+ balances cabin comfort with efficient twin PW306D propulsion. For buyers and charter operators, resale and maintenance considerations center on engine time on wing for the PW306D pair, avionics fit such as the Garmin G5000, and market demand for nine-seat executive interiors in the mid-size class.
