N81NT

This entry covers airframe N81NT, a Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign built in 2011 with manufacturer serial 680-0305. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by HD AIR LLC, an LLC based in Mercer, PA, US; the current ownership and home base are reflected in public registry listings. There are no additional published registry actions or notable incidents associated with this specific airframe. As a 2011-model Citation Sovereign, the airframe is professionally maintained and carries an indicative market valuation of $6,000,000, reflecting its mid-cycle age and typical outfitting for executive transport.

The cabin of N81NT is fitted in a typical eight-place double-club executive layout with an enclosed lavatory and a nine-seat certificated capacity, optimized for corporate and private transport missions. Avionics are installed as a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting common short- and medium-range operational profiles including single-leg transcontinental hops within the aircraft’s 2,820 nm range. Operated from its Mercer, Pennsylvania base by HD AIR LLC, the airframe is suited to charter, corporate shuttle, and owner-operator missions that require a balance of cabin comfort and efficient long-range cruise at approximately 459 kts. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life inspections and service bulletins typical for turbofan business jets powered by PW306C engines.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high-cruise speed and a 47,000 ft ceiling, positioning it against competitors that emphasize cabin comfort and range in the 2,000–3,000 nm class. Buyers and charter operators value airframes like N81NT for a combination of operational flexibility and lower-hour acquisition costs relative to newer types; resale considerations typically center on avionics configuration (the Honeywell Primus Epic) and engine program status for the PW306C powerplants. Maintenance, insurance, and fractional or charter utilization history will substantially influence future marketability of this specific serial 680-0305 airframe.
