N680SP

This entry covers airframe N680SP, a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ built in 2016 with serial number 680-0564. The aircraft is owned by SCHWARZ PARTNERS LP (a Partnership) based in Carmel, IN, US and is registered in the US. Valued at $15,000,000, this fixed-wing multi-engine business jet represents the Sovereign+ configuration for the model year and retains its factory typical fit and equipment.

The cabin on N680SP follows the typical Sovereign+ nine-place executive double-club layout with a forward refreshment center and an aft lavatory/vanity, configured for executive transport and short to transcontinental missions. Avionics are the factory-typical Garmin G5000 suite for the Sovereign+, supporting modern flight management, touchscreen control and integrated safety features suitable for single-pilot or two-crew operations as deployed by private owners. Operating from its owner’s home base in Carmel, Indiana, the aircraft’s 3,190 nm range and 460-knot cruise speed make it suitable for business missions across the continental United States and to Caribbean or transcontinental destinations without frequent refueling stops. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series engine programs and Sovereign+ airframe schedules typical for a 2016-model Citation in private ownership.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ occupies a mid-to-large light-medium business jet niche, offering longer range and higher payload than entry-level Citations while maintaining lower operating costs than larger-cabin long-range types. With a ceiling of 47,000 ft and a cruise near 460 kts, the Sovereign+ competes with aircraft such as the Embraer Praetor 600 and late-model Gulfstream turbofan light-cabins in mission capability. For buyers and charter operators, lifecycle considerations include engine program enrollment for PW306D powerplants, avionics support for the Garmin G5000 suite, and market resale influenced by configuration, maintenance pedigree and the aircraft’s $15,000,000 valuation.
