Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N3TW is a 2006-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, constructor serial 680-0060. This specific airframe is owned by 3TW AVIATION LLC, an Austin, Texas–based limited liability company, and is U.S.-registered. The fleet history for this airframe centers on private corporate operation under that single listed owner; registration and operational control are held by the Austin, TX–based LLC. Public registry entries and valuation records for this individual serial are limited to standard FAA registration information.

The interior of N3TW conforms to a typical nine-passenger executive layout with a forward galley, club seating, and an enclosed aft lavatory; cabin volume is approximately 571 cu ft with 135 cu ft of baggage capacity. Avionics in the typical Sovereign fit for this model are a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, while later block Sovereign+ aircraft transitioned to a Garmin G5000 option—this airframe is noted with the typical Primus Epic fit. Operationally, the aircraft’s mission profile aligns with short- to mid‑international corporate transport and on-demand charter tasks enabled by its 2,829 nm range and high‑altitude capability to FL470. As an LLC-operated jet based in Austin, TX, routine operation would emphasize business travel and regional executive transport; maintenance and upkeep follow Pratt & Whitney Canada engine and Cessna airframe schedules customary for late‑production Sovereigns.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range, fast cruise, and high‑altitude capability that competes with similarly classed jets from Bombardier and Embraer. Market demand historically favors owner‑operators and charter operators seeking a combination of cabin comfort and performance; the PW306C engines and Honeywell avionics are recognized maintenance focal points for mid‑2000s Sovereigns. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include typical age‑related avionics and interior refurbishment cycles and continued adherence to engine time‑between‑overhaul schedules dictated by Pratt & Whitney Canada and Cessna service bulletins.
