N889DF

This entry covers airframe N889DF, a 2005-built business jet of serial number 680-0018. The aircraft is a Cessna-built super-midsize jet, the Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, and is registered in the United States. Ownership is held by TROY AVIATION LLC, a Troy, Michigan–based limited liability company; the airframe is listed with that owner and carries an estimated market value of $6,500,000. Delivered in 2005 and remaining in civil U.S. registry, this airframe’s public records indicate standard valuation and operational status without published unusual registry actions or liens in the supplied data.

The cabin for this specific airframe is reported as a typical nine-passenger executive layout with club seating, but the specific in-cabin configuration for this airframe is not located in public listings. Avionics are reported as the Honeywell Primus Epic suite as typical for the Sovereign family; the specific avionics fit for this airframe is not publicly listed. With a transcontinental range of about 3,010 nm and a high cruise speed near 459 kts, operational use for N889DF would commonly include corporate point-to-point missions, regional international hops, and air-taxi charters consistent with a nine-seat executive configuration. Operator base information beyond the registered owner’s location (Troy, MI) is not provided in the supplied data.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, a high-altitude ceiling and a cabin sized for small executive groups. With twin PW306C engines producing 5,770 lbf each, the model competes with similar super-midsize types in charter and corporate fleets. Given the listed market value of $6,500,000 for this 2005 airframe, buyers and operators typically weigh total hour and calendar-based maintenance records and avionics modernization when assessing resale and continued operational economics. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe would follow standard Sovereign practices, with specific avionics or cabin modifications affecting marketability; such specific modifications are not published for N889DF.
