N151YD

The airframe bearing tail number N151YD is a 2008-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0197. It is registered in the United States and currently owned by YELLOW DART LLC, an LLC based in Warroad, MN, US, reflecting a corporate ownership model typical of light business jet operations. The airframe’s registration and ownership status indicate operation from a Minnesota home base under U.S. registry; valuation records place its market worth at approximately $6,400,000, consistent with late-production Sovereign examples in service. No widely documented accidents or title anomalies are noted in the supplied data.

The specific cabin of N151YD is fitted in a typical nine-passenger executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, offering a long narrow-body cabin of approximately 571 cu ft suitable for point-to-point business missions. The avionics suite conforms to the Sovereign forward-fit specification, equipped with Honeywell Primus Epic, enabling integrated flight management and modern cockpit capabilities for single-pilot-approved dispatch profiles on the type. Typical missions for this airframe would include medium- to long-range corporate travel within the aircraft’s 2,820 nm radius and high-speed cruise at approximately 459 kts, operating from the owner/operator’s Minnesota base to domestic and transborder destinations. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft reflect standard Sovereign practices, including attention to the PW306C engine program and avionics support for the Primus Epic installation.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a midsize, transcontinental niche within the Cessna/Textron product line, offering extended range and higher cruise speeds than older light jets while providing a lower operating cost alternative to larger heavy-cabin types. Competing models include similarly sized midsize jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream derivatives; buyers and charter operators value the Sovereign for its combination of payload-range performance and relatively modern avionics such as the Honeywell Primus Epic. For resale and maintenance, engines like the PW306C and the aircraft’s age (2008 build) are principal considerations in lifecycle and value calculations reflected by the stated $6,400,000 estimate.
