N2LP

The airframe bearing tail number N2LP is a 2008-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial 680-0219. It is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by MMXII LLC, an LLC based in Chesapeake, VA, US; this registration and ownership form the primary traceable operator record for the airframe. The Sovereign airframe retains the typical mid-life valuation profile for its series, with an assessed market value of $7,000,000 and described condition consistent with active executive use. Notable registry action includes its listing under the corporate owner in Chesapeake, representing a single-owner corporate operating history in available records.

The cabin of this specific Sovereign is fitted in a typical 9‑passenger executive layout featuring a double club seating arrangement with a forward refreshment area; some listings for similar configurations note a 10‑place layout with a forward divan, but the primary record for this airframe indicates the nine‑place executive fit. Avionics fit aligns with the Sovereign series standard of Honeywell Primus Epic, with common fleet upgrades reported in the type such as WAAS/LPV approaches, TCAS 7.1 and optional satellite or air-to-ground connectivity (Gogo/Iridium) for long‑range business missions. Based from Chesapeake, VA operations, the aircraft is well-suited to U.S. domestic and transcontinental missions within its 3,200 nm range and is typically operated on executive charter or corporate transportation profiles that emphasize speed, altitude capability and onboard comfort. Routine maintenance considerations follow the Pratt & Whitney PW306C program and Sovereign airframe inspection cycles applicable to mid‑2000s Citations.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid‑size cabin, transcontinental business jet niche, offering faster cruise and higher payload/range than light jets while remaining more economical to operate than larger-cabin heavy jets. Competing models include aircraft in the super‑midsize class from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Gulfstream entry models; demand generally stems from corporate operators and charter fleets seeking 3,000+ nm capability with single‑aisle executive interiors. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2008 Sovereign like N2LP reflect age‑related depreciation, engine shop visit cycles for PW306C units, and market premiums for aircraft with updated avionics (WAAS/LPV, TCAS 7.1) and connectivity options that remain influential in buyer and charter demand.
