N521BU

This entry documents airframe N521BU, a 2012-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0330. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate entity BRIDGE FUNDING GROUP INC, located in Hunt Valley, Maryland, United States; the current ownership is recorded as a corporate owner rather than private individual operation. The aircraft carries a manufacturer's build year of 2012 and an estimated market value of $10,000,000. No further public registry transfers or lien notices are published in the supplied data.

The subject airframe is outfitted in a typical executive configuration for the type with an Executive 8–9 passenger layout with forward galley and enclosed aft lavatory (typical for the type); seating capacity is listed as 9. Avionics are the factory-fitted Honeywell Primus Epic suite as typical on pre-Sovereign+ 680 models, supporting modern flight management, FMS, and integrated EFIS capabilities appropriate for international light business jet operations. Typical missions for this configuration include transcontinental and near-oceanic corporate transport within the aircraft’s 3,010 nm range and cruise at approximately 459 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Hunt Valley, MD, or other US business airports. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney PW300-series schedules and Honeywell avionics support common to mid-size Citation fleet management.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the mid-size, long-range business jet niche, offering higher payload-range capability and runway performance relative to smaller light jets while remaining less costly to operate than larger heavy jets. Competing models include other midsize-cabin types from Bombardier and Embraer; the Sovereign’s strengths are runway performance, a comfortable executive cabin, and a certified ceiling of 47,000 ft. For corporate owners such as BRIDGE FUNDING GROUP INC, resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program enrollment for the PW306C engines, avionics upgrade paths from the Honeywell Primus Epic, and market demand for well-equipped, late-model Sovereign airframes in the ~$10,000,000 value band.
