N289KR

This entry covers airframe N289KR, a 2008-built business jet with serial number 680-0193. It is a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States. The aircraft is owned by TROY EQUIPMENT HOLDINGS LLC of Katy, TX, US, and its current operator/home base is recorded in that same location. Notable registry action includes registration and ownership listing to TROY EQUIPMENT HOLDINGS LLC in the US civil register; the airframe's build year and serial place it among late-production Sovereign examples and determine its maintenance and parts pedigree.

The cabin in this Sovereign-class example is configured in a typical 7–9-place executive layout, with a reported accommodation series of 9 seats and club seating possible for executive missions. Avionics are the typical fit for Sovereign-class examples, with the Honeywell Primus Epic suite providing integrated flight and systems management for business operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium- to long-range point-to-point executive transport up to its 2,820 nm range at cruise speeds near 459 kts and flight levels up to 47,000 ft. Based at Katy, TX, US under ownership of TROY EQUIPMENT HOLDINGS LLC, maintenance considerations follow established Sovereign schedules for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines and Honeywell avionics common to the type.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speed relative to light jets. Competing models in its class typically emphasize similar range and cabin comfort; the Sovereign's strengths include its altitude capability of 47,000 ft and the commonality of the PW306C engines. Buyer and charter demand for Sovereign airframes tends to focus on operators seeking reliable range around 2,820 nm with a 7–9 passenger executive interior. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 2008 serial 680-0193 reflect parts and avionics commonality within the Sovereign fleet and the aircraft's documented US registration and ownership.
