N308LJ

This article covers the specific airframe bearing registration N308LJ, a 2006-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer's serial number 680-0109. The airframe was constructed by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States. It is owned by Nspiration Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Menlo Park, CA, US, and is recorded with a market valuation of $5,850,000. Registry details and ownership are notable for the single corporate owner listed for this airframe.

The cabin of N308LJ is fitted in a typical nine-passenger executive double-club layout with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory, reflecting the interior configuration commonly specified for this model. Avionics for this airframe are noted as Honeywell Primus Epic (typical), providing integrated flight, navigation and systems management consistent with operator demands for business missions. With a 2,829 nm range and a cruise speed of 459 kts, the aircraft is suited to medium- to long-range executive transport and charter operations from its owner-operator base in Menlo Park, CA. Maintenance and mission planning for this specific airframe align with the fixed-wing multi-engine category and the systems associated with the PW306C engines and Primus Epic avionics suite.

The airframe belongs to the Citation Sovereign family, positioned for operators seeking transcontinental capability within the light-midsize business jet segment. With a 47,000 ft ceiling and a typical nine-seat executive interior, this airframe competes on performance and cabin utility with comparable business jets in its class. Buyer and charter demand for individual airframes like N308LJ reflect considerations such as engine maintenance cycles for the PW306C, avionics modernization (noting the typical Honeywell Primus Epic fit), and resale value, here recorded at $5,850,000 for this 2006 airframe.
