N16CP

This entry covers airframe N16CP, a 2016-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ (serial 680-0567) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). The aircraft is recorded as owned by WALMART INC, a corporation based in Bentonville, AR, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to a corporate owner and typically used in executive transport, the airframe is equipped and configured consistent with corporate Sovereign+ installations and carries an estimated market value of $8,700,000.

The aircraft is fitted with an executive 9-place layout featuring a single-club seating arrangement, a forward galley, and a belted lavatory consistent with a corporate-configured Sovereign+. The cockpit fit includes a Garmin G5000 avionics suite typical of Sovereign+ factory and retrofit installations. With a long-range capability of 3,200 nm and a high single-pilot-capable cruise of 460 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and limited intercontinental missions common to corporate flight departments. Based on the registered owner location, day-to-day operations and maintenance oversight are likely coordinated from Bentonville, AR, with corporate flight department scheduling and factory-standard maintenance programs applicable to this model.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ occupies the midsize-to-super-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance, and range in the ~3,000–3,500 nm class. Typical competitors in the market include later-model midsize jets with similar speed and range, and buyer demand tends to favor airframes with modern avionics like the Garmin G5000 and proven engines such as the PW306D. For corporate owners like WALMART INC, considerations include the aircraft’s sustained operating economics, the availability and cost of scheduled maintenance for the PW300-series engines, and resale valuation—here indexed near $8.7M for a 2016, corporate-config airframe in the Sovereign+ line.
