N188TL

This entry covers airframe N188TL, a 2008-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial number 680-0257. The airframe is listed in the United States registry and is owned by the corporate trustee Bank Of Utah Trustee, whose registered location is Salt Lake City, UT. The aircraft retains its original-type configuration from manufacture by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and has been recorded under US civil registration actions as N188TL since delivery; no public record of additional owners or operators is provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied dataset.

The specific airframe is fitted in a typical super-midsize executive configuration, described as a 9-place layout featuring a forward galley, an enclosed lavatory, and a large external baggage compartment. Avionics are consistent with the original Sovereign fit and are listed as Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting advanced flight management and autopilot functions common to business-jet operations. Operational profiles for this airframe would normally include transcontinental and medium-haul missions within its 2,847 nm range and cruise speed around 458 kt, often flown from the owner’s base in Salt Lake City, UT for corporate transport or charter duties; the installation and maintenance of the PW306C engines and integrated Honeywell suite are routine considerations for continued dispatch reliability.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a super-midsize business-jet niche, offering longer range and higher payload-capability than light jets while maintaining single-pilot certification options in some configurations. With a service ceiling near 47,000 ft, the Sovereign competes with aircraft such as the Dassault Falcon 50/2000 series and certain Embraer Legacy models for charter and corporate buyers seeking transcontinental capability. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on scheduled PW306C engine overhauls and avionics updates for the Honeywell Primus Epic to preserve resale value and charter certification compliance.
