N680FS

This entry describes airframe N680FS, a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign built in 2008 with serial number 680-0234. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. The current owner/operator is DIESEL ACQUISITIONS LLC, a limited liability company based in Milpitas, CA, US, which appears as the primary registrant for this airframe. There are no additional published registry actions or prior operators listed for this specific serial in the provided data.

The interior of N680FS is configured in an executive 8–9 place layout featuring a forward galley, enclosed lavatory and typical club seating arrangements suitable for business travel and charter missions. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flight deck, supporting advanced navigation, surveillance and flight management capabilities appropriate for high‑performance short‑to‑medium international hops. With a long range of 2,820 nm and cruise of 459 kts, typical operations for this airframe include transcontinental U.S. flights and nonstop trips into nearby international markets, operated from its owner’s base in Milpitas, CA or regional airports. Maintenance considerations align with twin‑engine corporate turbofan practices for the PW306C powerplants and Honeywell avionics, with an emphasis on engine performance monitoring and avionics software/WAAS updates.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a niche between light and mid‑size business jets, offering extended range and a pressurized cabin capable of a 47,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its class historically include variants of the Bombardier Learjet family and Embraer Legacy/Phenom series for shorter missions, while offering more cabin volume and range than lighter jets. Demand for a 2008 Sovereign like N680FS tends to come from corporate operators and fractional/charter companies seeking transcontinental capability with a moderate acquisition and operating cost profile. Resale and maintenance considerations focus on PW306C engine lifecycle events and continued support for the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite.
