N818MF

This entry documents airframe N818MF, a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign built in 2004 with serial number 680-0007. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. It is owned by N818MF LLC, an Austin, Texas–based limited liability company, and is recorded in civil registers as operated from Austin, TX, US; the current ownership is reflected in registry records without further public ownership transfers. The airframe has an estimated market value of $6,000,000 and is configured and maintained as a fixed-wing multi-engine business turbofan platform.

The airframe is laid out for a passenger complement of 9, supporting typical business and executive transport missions within its approximately 2,847 nm range, allowing nonstop regional to transcontinental sectors. Cruise performance around 458 knots and a service ceiling of 47,000 feet make the aircraft suitable for high-speed, high-altitude cruise profiles that avoid commercial traffic flows. Specific cabin configuration details and avionics fit for N818MF are not published in the supplied data; operationally, the platform is commonly employed on point-to-point charter, owner-operated business travel, and corporate shuttle missions based from Austin, TX, US. Maintenance considerations follow the PW306C engine program and sovereign-series airframe maintenance schedules as applied by the owner/operator.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-size super-midsize business jet niche, offering greater range and payload than light jets while retaining access to shorter runways compared with larger long-range types. With twin PW306C engines producing 6,040 lbf each, the model competes with aircraft such as the Bombardier Challenger 300/350 family and select Gulfstream entry-level types in mission capability. Buyer and charter demand for Sovereigns centers on operators seeking a balance of range (2,847 nm), cruise speed (458 kts), and operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations typically reflect engine time, avionics upgrades, and overall cycle/airframe condition, factors that would influence the reported $6,000,000 valuation for this specific serial 680-0007 airframe.
