N507SF

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing U.S. registration N507SF, a 2014-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ with serial number 680-0507. The airframe is owned by BLACK TAIL LLC, an Iowa City, Iowa-based limited liability company that appears as the current and primary registrant/operator on record. There are no published records of multiple prior owners or notable registry actions for this hull beyond its entry as a 2014 production aircraft and its continued operation under the LLC; maintenance and condition summaries are not published in the supplied data. The airframe’s configuration and avionics fit suggest it is maintained and operated for light business transport and on-demand charter missions from its Iowa City base.

The cabin of this specific Citation Sovereign+ is fitted in a nine-passenger double-club layout with a forward side-facing seat, a forward galley, and an aft externally serviceable lavatory, reflecting a typical executive transport interior intended for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics aboard N507SF consist of a Garmin G5000 suite with dual FMS, TCAS II, and a GWX70 weather radar, providing modern situational awareness and performance management for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional business trips and on-demand charter legs within its approximately 3,188 nm range and high single‑engine cruise speed, operating primarily from the owner’s Iowa City area base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow manufacturer schedules for the PW306D engines and Garmin avionics, with the externally serviceable lavatory noted for simplified ground servicing.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ occupies a performance niche between light and midsize business jets, offering transcontinental range at high cruise speeds and a 47,000 ft service ceiling, characteristics reflected in N507SF. Competing models in the segment include aircraft from Bombardier and Embraer that target similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand typically values the Sovereign+ for its balanced payload/range and proven avionics like the Garmin G5000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on PW306D engine maintenance cycles, avionics upgrades, and the condition of the nine‑passenger executive interior, all factors that influence marketability in preowned transactions.
