Model & Market Context
This entry describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N404SP, a 2005-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0039. The airframe is owned by DJD AERO LLC, a limited liability company based in Lubbock, TX, US, and is U.S.-registered. The airframe retains its original manufacturer designation from Cessna and carries an estimated market value of $7,000,000; no further public registry events or incident history are published in the supplied data. Condition highlights are limited to valuation and original configuration notes; many Sovereigns of this vintage undergo avionics or interior updates that can affect market price.
The cabin in this airframe is configured in a typical nine-place executive layout featuring club seating, a forward refreshment/galley area, and a belted aft baggage area, reflecting common corporate transport missions. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus Epic in the typical original fit; the data notes that many airframes receive upgrades, which can modify operational capability and resale value. With a 2,820 nm range and a long-range cruise near 459 kt, this Citation Sovereign airframe is suited for medium- to long-range point-to-point corporate and charter routes out of its operator/home base in Lubbock, TX. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow typical PW306C engine and Sovereign airframe programmes; any additional avionics retrofits or interior refurbishments would be expected to impact downtime and valuation.
The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-to-large light business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high single-pilot operational margin and a 47,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its class typically include variants of the Embraer and Bombardier light-to-midsize business jets; buyer and charter demand for 2005 Sovereigns is driven by condition, maintenance status, and avionics fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the PW306C engine lifecycle, potential Honeywell Primus Epic upgrades, and interior refurbishment history, all of which materially affect market value from the noted $7,000,000 estimate.
