N156SW

The airframe bearing tail number N156SW is a 2010-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, serial 680-0296, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is owned by Whitney Group LLC, a corporation based in Larose, LA, US, and is registered in the US; no notable registry actions published for this specific airframe in the supplied data. The airframe’s documented market value is $8,000,000, reflecting its 2010 build year and typical equipment fit for the Sovereign model.

The cabin of this particular Sovereign is fitted in a typical double‑club layout for 8–9 passengers with a forward galley and aft lavatory, and it carries a large external/heated baggage compartment suitable for extended business or regional travel. Avionics for the airframe are reported as Honeywell Primus Epic in the typical Sovereign configuration, supporting modern flight management, situational awareness and single‑pilot eligible operational modes where applicable to the model. Operated from the owner’s base in Larose, LA, US, the aircraft’s performance—particularly its range of 2,829 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts—supports trans‑regional missions such as coast-to-coast and Gulf/Caribbean business trips. Maintenance considerations follow standard PW300‑series engine programs and Sovereign airframe inspections; the heated baggage compartment and long‑range capability suggest frequent use on luggage‑intensive business missions.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize business jet niche with trans‑regional range, high cruise speed and a 47,000 ft ceiling, competing against similar class types in charter and corporate markets. Typical buyers and charter operators select the model for its cabin comfort, range-to-cost balance and reliable PW306C engine commonality within the PW300 family. Resale and maintenance factors for a 2010 Sovereign like this airframe reflect engine time, maintenance records and avionics fit such as the Honeywell Primus Epic, all influencing demand and the stated $8,000,000 valuation.
