N263TA

This airframe, registered as N263TA, is a 2009-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0263. It is owned by AQUA SUN INVESTMENTS LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US, which is the documented operator and home-base corporate address for the type. Current U.S. registration and corporate ownership are the principal recorded administrative facts for this airframe. The aircraft carries an assessed market value of $8,400,000, reflecting its vintage and equipped specification.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive arrangement for this model, a Typical 8–9 place executive layout with forward galley and aft lavatory, which supports corporate transport and on-demand charter profiles for up to nine occupants. Avionics for the airframe are reported as Honeywell Primus Epic (typical for Sovereign-series of this vintage), providing integrated flight management, navigation and systems monitoring suited to long cross-country and international flights within its range capability. With a cruise speed of 459 kts and a transcontinental range of 2,820 nm, common missions for this specific airframe would include business point-to-point travel, continental hops and limited overseas sectors where runway performance and cabin comfort are priorities. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft follow fleet norms for Pratt & Whitney PW300-series engines and Honeywell avionics suites, with component support and scheduled inspections reflecting its 2009 manufacture year.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-to-large super-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort for 8–9 passengers, long-range capability and high cruise speed. For prospective buyers and operators of this airframe, the combination of a 47,000 ft service ceiling, long-range performance and the familiar Honeywell Primus Epic suite tends to support sustained charter and corporate demand in its class. Resale and maintenance considerations for N263TA specifically will weigh age (2009), engine commonality with other PW306C-operated fleets, and its assessed value of $8,400,000, which market participants use to benchmark depreciation, retrofit needs and avionics/amenity upgrades.
