N680CM

This article covers airframe N680CM, a specific 2008-built example of the Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0194. The airframe is recorded as registered in the US and is owned by Mewbourne Oil Company, a corporation based in Tyler, TX, US. Manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.) and completed in 2008, the airframe’s configuration and registry data identify it as a corporate transport typically deployed in executive and oil-industry mission roles. The combination of its model, ownership, and U.S. registration comprises the primary public provenance and operational identity for this specific aircraft.

The individual airframe N680CM is fitted in a typical 9-passenger executive layout, providing an interior arranged for corporate transport and short- to medium-haul business missions. Avionics for this airframe are specified as Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting integrated flight management, communications and cockpit situational awareness appropriate for its operation to higher-altitude flight levels. Operated under corporate control by Mewbourne Oil Company out of Tyler, TX, US, the aircraft’s mission profile would commonly include executive transport, shuttle flights between regional hubs, and industry site visits within its 2,920 nm range and long-range cruise capability. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with the model’s twin-engine Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C powerplant and Honeywell avionics suite.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign family, a mid-size business jet niche emphasizing transcontinental range and high cruise speed; this example’s 459 kts cruise and 47,000 ft ceiling reflect that positioning. Competing models in the same market segment typically offer similar cabin capacities and mission ranges, and buyers or corporate operators often prioritize reliability of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines and avionics support for resale value. For this specific airframe, ownership by a corporate operator such as Mewbourne Oil Company and the recorded U.S. registration are relevant factors in operational continuity, maintenance program choices, and prospective secondary-market considerations.
