N516DB

The airframe bearing registration N516DB is a 2005-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer's serial number 680-0038. The jet is recorded as owned by Guardian Air LLC of Newark, DE, US, and is registered in the US; no publicly noted registry actions beyond standard transfer and registration are recorded for this airframe. As a 2005 production example it carries the age-related market considerations typical of mid-2000s Sovereign airframes, with a listed valuation of $4,753,028 reflecting its configuration and service status.

This specific Sovereign is fitted with an executive 9‑place layout featuring a forward galley, typical club seating arrangements, and an aft lavatory, configured for executive transport and charter missions. Avionics are installed in a typical Sovereign-series fit with the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting advanced flight management and single-pilot capable systems in line with the model’s operational role. With a 3,010 nm range and a 460 kt cruise speed, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and longer point-to-point missions for corporate or charter operators based from its owner’s home location in Newark, DE, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Sovereign-series norms, including PW306C engine support and avionics commonality benefits for line-replaceable modularity.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a performance niche characterized by high mid‑flight speed, extended transcontinental range, and a 47,000 ft ceiling that supports efficient, long‑sector executive operations. Given the airframe’s 2005 build year and the documented value of $4,753,028, resale and charter market interest will hinge on maintenance history, total time on airframe and engines, and interior condition. The PW306C engine type and Honeywell Primus Epic avionics contribute to predictable maintenance pathways and parts support, factors that commonly influence buyer and operator demand in the used mid‑size business jet market.
