Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N259CK, a 2009-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0278. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by ACUITY AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Atlanta, Georgia, US. The aircraft reflects a typical late-2000s Sovereign specification and, according to registry details, has remained under corporate ownership since its documented acquisition by the Atlanta-based operator. No public record of other operators or notable incidents is provided in the supplied data.
The airframe is fitted in a standard Sovereign executive configuration: a nine-place cabin with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, reflecting the manufacturer's typical seating and service arrangement for the model. Avionics are the Honeywell Primus Epic suite as is typical for Sovereign production, supporting advanced flight management and single-pilot capability features in line with the type. Operationally, this configuration and the jet’s long-range cruise capability support corporate and charter missions spanning transcontinental routes within the continental US and point-to-point business travel up to its stated range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow the Sovereign maintenance program for twin PW306C installations and standard executive interior upkeep under corporate ownership.
The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-to-large super-midsize business jet niche offering a balance of transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a stand-up cabin for up to nine passengers. Typical competitors in this performance and mission class include other late-2000s super-midsize models offering similar speed and range profiles. For buyers and charter operators, considerations when evaluating this airframe include engine commonality with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series fleets, avionics support for Honeywell Primus Epic systems, and the resale implications of interior condition and completed maintenance under corporate ownership.
