N271PH

This entry covers airframe N271PH, a 2007-built Cessna Citation Sovereign (Model 680) with serial number 680-0151. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to and operated by LABUTTE LLC, an LLC based in Dearborn, Michigan. The aircraft appears on civil registry records as a nine-place certified business jet and carries an estimated market value of $7,200,000. Notable administrative actions include its registration transfer to LABUTTE LLC in the U.S. civil registry as the primary ownership change recorded for this airframe.

The cabin of N271PH is fitted in a typical Sovereign layout described as double-club seating for eight with an additional side‑facing seat, and registry records note a nine-place certified configuration for passenger operations. The typical avionics fit for Sovereign airframes is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, which is indicated as the common installation for this model though some aircraft receive later retrofits; this airframe is listed with the model’s typical avionics heritage. Operating from its owner’s base in Dearborn, Michigan, the airframe’s range and cruise speed suit medium- to long-range business travel and charter operations across continental routes and trans-Gulf sectors. Maintenance considerations follow standard Model 680 programs for twin PW306C-powered Citations, with inspection and component cycles driven by the aircraft’s business use and the Pratt & Whitney Canada engine support framework.

The Cessna Citation Sovereign (Model 680) occupies a mid-to-large-cabin super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range, high cruise speeds, and a 47,000 ft service ceiling which make it attractive to owner-operators and charter companies. Typical competitors include other super-midsize types that trade cabin comfort for operating cost differences; the Sovereign’s Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines and Honeywell Primus Epic avionics are factors influencing maintenance costs and resale value. With an estimated market value of $7,200,000 for this 2007 serial 680-0151, buyers consider airframe condition, avionics fit, and engine time when assessing acquisition or charter demand for this specific airframe.
