N943JS

This entry covers airframe N943JS, a 2005-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial 680-0046. The airframe is owned by FE 46 LLC, an LLC based in Kinston, NC, and is registered in the US; notable registry actions include its active civil registration under that owner. Valuation assessments place this specific aircraft at approximately $7,200,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market status. The airframe’s condition and configuration follow fleet-standard equipment for the model, with operator-configurable cabin elements.

The cabin in this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout for the type, a double-club arrangement accommodating 8–9 passengers with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the configuration is operator-configurable for this specific aircraft. Avionics are installed in a fleet-standard Honeywell Primus Epic suite, noted as Honeywell Primus Epic though exact fitment may vary by airframe and may be tailored during maintenance or refurbishment. Typical missions for this Sovereign include medium- to long-range business travel, point-to-point transcontinental and transregional flights within the 3,200 nm capability, operating from the owner’s base region around Kinston, NC. Maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C program requirements and Cessna/Textron service intervals consistent with the model and serial.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the midsize business jet niche within Cessna/Textron’s lineup, offering long-range capability and high cruise speeds suitable for owner/operators and charter operators. Competitors typically include other midsize jets with similar range and cabin capacity; demand in the pre-owned market is tied to airframe condition, avionics suite like the Honeywell Primus Epic, and maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on its serial 680-0046 service records, PW306C engine maintenance status, and the remaining economic life relative to a $7,200,000 valuation.
