N253CP

This entry documents airframe N253CP, a 2004-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0010. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by PRICEFLIGHT LLC, an LLC based in Louisville, KY, US; no prior ownership timeline beyond the current owner is published. Manufacturer records identify the airframe as built by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) in 2004, and there are no additional notable registry actions published for this specific tail. Valuation and condition specifics are not published, though the type’s typical market considerations inform likely maintenance and appraisal attention.

The cabin of N253CP follows the Citation Sovereign typical executive arrangement, with a forward galley, mid-cabin seating in an 8–9-place layout and an aft lavatory/baggage area, supporting corporate transport or on-demand charter missions. Avionics fit on this airframe is the commonly-equipped Honeywell Primus Epic, providing integrated flight management, comms and display capability suitable for long-range business missions. Operated from the owner’s base in Louisville, KY, US, typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and long-range regional trips leveraging the Sovereign’s near-jetliner range and speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow PW306C engine shop intervals and Sovereign series system inspections as per manufacturer and operator schedules; specific maintenance history for this serial is not published.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize super-midsize business jet niche, offering around 3,200 nm range and cruise near 459 kts, which competes with similar offerings in its class. Primary competitors are other midsize-cabin designs offering transcontinental capability; demand is driven by owner-operators and charter operators seeking runway performance and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on PW306C engine status, airframe hours/landings and the presence of Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, all of which materially affect marketability and charter certification.
