Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N927JK, a Cessna Citation Sovereign built in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 680-0104. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by ROCKET AIR LLC of Broomfield, Colorado. The aircraft is a mid-2000s sovereign-series airframe powered by twin turbofans and listed with an estimated market value of $5,850,000. Registry details reflect U.S. operation and ownership; no additional transfer history or unusual registry actions are published for this specific tail number.
The cabin of N927JK is fitted in a nine-passenger double-club layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, configured for executive transport and short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics are provided by a Honeywell suite, specifically the Honeywell Primus EPIC integration with 4 × DU-1080 displays, supporting advanced flight management, navigation and situational awareness for single-crew optionality or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this particular airframe would include transcontinental U.S. hops and point-to-point charter work within the aircraft’s roughly 2,847 nm ferry/range capability and high-speed cruise at 459 kts. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life life-cycle inspections for a 2006 Model 680, with attention to PW306C engine shop visit schedules and avionics service bulletins applicable to the Primus EPIC suite.
The Cessna Citation Sovereign (Model 680) occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering higher runway performance and cabin comfort than light jets while remaining more economical to operate than ultra-long-range types. Competing models in this performance bracket include similar midsize business jets from Gulfstream, Embraer, and Bombardier offerings of the era. For buyers and charter operators, resale and maintenance considerations for a 2006 Sovereign such as N927JK include engine life-limited component status, avionics commonality with Honeywell systems, and market demand for well-equipped, nine-seat interiors suitable for corporate and charter use.
