This airframe, registered as N163R, is a 2007-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0163. The jet is owned by the Miami-based corporation SUMMIT AIR LLC and is listed on the US civil register.

The cabin of this specific Sovereign is fitted in a typical 7–9 place executive double-club layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; options noted for the model include divan seating. Avionics in Sovereign fleet examples of this installation are typically the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, often a four-DU Honeywell DU-1080 arrangement, which supports the aircraft’s business-mission avionics and systems integration. Operated by a Miami, FL corporate owner, missions for this airframe would commonly include medium-range executive flights within the continental United States and to Caribbean destinations consistent with its 3,010 nm range and 388 kt cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect multi-engine fixed-wing corporate service practices and the PW306C powerplant maintenance environment.
The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-to-upper light midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability without the operating footprint of larger long-range types. Its combination of a 3,010 nm range, 388 kt cruise and a 47,000 ft ceiling positions it against competitors in the midsize executive transport market seeking cabin comfort and city-pair flexibility. Buyer and charter demand for Sovereigns typically targets operators valuing balanced performance and operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by engine model PW306C support, avionics fit such as Honeywell Primus Epic installations, and overall age with a 2007 build date.
