Model & Market Context
This entry describes airframe N313QS, a 2007-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0140. The airframe is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry items for this specific airframe include its corporate ownership and placement within a fractional/operator sales fleet; market valuation records list the aircraft at $6,400,000. Condition highlights reflect a purpose-built executive configuration and original-spec avionics typical for early Sovereign production.
The cabin of N313QS is outfitted in a nine‑place executive layout with club seating, complemented by a forward service/galley and an aft lavatory; the airframe also carries an external baggage compartment suitable for typical business travel loads. Avionics fitment is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, consistent with the original Sovereign specification, supporting integrated flight management and communications for complex IFR operations. Typical missions for this airframe include medium‑to‑long-range corporate and fractional operations, frequently flying coast‑to‑coast or regional international hops within the aircraft’s 2,920 nm range at cruise speeds around 447 kts. Maintenance considerations align with mixed fleet corporate operators and include PW306C scheduled overhauls and avionics support for the Primus Epic suite.
The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid‑sized business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and high single‑pilot capable systems relative to turbofan competitors. Competing models in its class include offerings from Bombardier and Embraer that target similar seat counts and mission profiles. Demand among fractional, corporate and charter buyers emphasizes reliability, cabin comfort and operating economics; resale considerations for an airframe like N313QS focus on engine time, avionics update status, and ownership history provided by fleet operators. Maintenance and resale value are influenced by the PW306C overhaul status and the presence of original Honeywell Primus Epic avionics.
