N80FW

This article covers airframe tail number N80FW, a 2008 Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial 680-0238 built by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by MEDICAL FACILITIES OF AMERICA INC, a corporate owner based in Roanoke, VA, US; this corporate ownership is the primary notable registry entry for the airframe. Valuation records indicate a market value of $6,900,000, reflecting mid-aged Sovereign condition and standard original equipment fit for the model.

The airframe is configured in a 9-passenger executive layout consistent with a typical Sovereign double-club seating arrangement, providing a cabin environment intended for corporate transport or specialized mission use. Avionics fit for this original Sovereign is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting integrated flight management, situational awareness, and autopilot systems appropriate to the aircraft’s performance envelope. Typical operations for this registration and owner profile would include medium-range medical, corporate, or business shuttle missions out of its Roanoke, VA base, leveraging the Sovereign’s transcontinental range and cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft align with twin-PW300-series engine program requirements, Honeywell avionics shop support, and scheduled inspections tied to the airframe’s 2008 build year and utilization history.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a performance niche between midsize and super-midsize business jets, offering higher cruise speed and payload-range capability than many light jets while retaining runway performance advantages over larger types. Competing models typically include super-midsize cabins from other manufacturers that prioritize longer range or larger cabins, but the Sovereign’s combination of a 2,518 nm range and 446 kt cruise makes it attractive to buyers seeking transcontinental capability without super-midsize operating costs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect age-related inspection cycles, engine time on type for the PW306C engines, and market demand for well-equipped, corporate-configured Sovereigns with Honeywell Primus Epic avionics.
