N680FD

The airframe bearing tail number N680FD is a 2009-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, serial 680-0289, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by FEDERATED HERMES INC (a corporation based in Pittsburgh, PA, US) and is registered in the US. The entry reflects a mature mid‑fleet corporate jet with a clear corporate ownership history and typical executive utilization; no other operators or notable registry actions beyond the corporate ownership are documented for this airframe. Condition and valuation details have not been published in the available data, though the installation and equipment fit indicate a standard executive configuration consistent with active corporate use.

The cabin of N680FD is fitted in a typical executive layout supporting an 8–9 passenger double‑club style configuration, with an enclosed lavatory and substantial external baggage capacity of approximately 100–135 cu ft depending on fit. Avionics aboard are the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting modern glass‑cockpit operational capability for corporate missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would be regional to intercontinental corporate transport within the aircraft’s published range and cruise performance, operated from the owner’s base in Pittsburgh, PA, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft align with corporate fleet practices, emphasizing engine and avionics support for the PW306C engines and Honeywell Primus Epic systems.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupied a performance niche as a super‑mid light business jet with long range, high cruise speed, and single‑aisle cabin flexibility; N680FD exemplifies that role with its 2,847 nm range and 459 kt cruise. Competing models in this segment typically include other super‑mids offering similar range and cabin layouts, driving steady buyer and charter demand for well‑equipped Sovereigns. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial configuration focus on PW306C engine life limits, avionics currency for the Honeywell Primus Epic, and the condition of the executive interior and external baggage installations.
