N542CC

This entry describes airframe N542CC, a 2012 build of the Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial number 680-0333. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity ZAMBEZI LLC, located in Ormond Beach, Florida; this ownership is the principal recorded operator for the airframe. No additional prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data. Valuation information for the airframe lists a market value of $8,120,648, reflecting its model, year and typical equipment package at the time of the appraisal.

The cabin for this airframe conforms to the Citation Sovereign executive configurations common to the model, accommodating an executive 8–9 place double-club / club + divan layout with a full aft lavatory, forward galley, and substantial external baggage capacity (approximately 135 cu ft). Avionics fit on typical Sovereign installations include the Honeywell Primus Epic suite with a common four-tube EFIS, which matches the equipment profile usually found on this airframe. Operationally, the aircraft’s 3,010 nm range and 388 kt cruise speed suit medium- to long-stage corporate missions and owner/operator private transport from its base in Ormond Beach, Florida. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would reflect twin PW306C engine care cycles and the avionics suite common to the type.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-to-large cabin super-midsize niche offering transcontinental capability, combining a high cruise speed and near-3,000 nm range that competes with similar offerings from Gulfstream entry models and Embraer Legacy/Lineage variants. Buyer and charter demand for Sovereign airframes is influenced by proven Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series reliability and the popular Honeywell Primus Epic avionics fit; these factors also affect aftermarket values and resale liquidity. For this 2012 airframe, age, equipment fit and the listed market value of $8,120,648 are key inputs for maintenance planning, insurance underwriting and remarketing considerations.
