N966JM

This airframe, registered as N966JM, is a 2005-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0027. The aircraft is owned by LA CADENA MANAGEMENT LLC, a corporation based in Riverside, CA, US, and appears on the U.S. civil registry. Registered to LA CADENA MANAGEMENT LLC in Riverside, California, the airframe’s documented market value is $9,500,000, reflecting typical mid-life pricing for original Sovereign-series examples. The jet’s manufacturer is listed as Cessna (Textron Aviation) and it remains in the fixed-wing multi-engine category under U.S. registration.

The cabin of this Sovereign is configured in a typical 8–9 passenger executive layout featuring double-club seating, a forward galley/refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory, supporting executive transport or on-demand charter missions. Avionics fit for the original Sovereign on this airframe is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, consistent with production Sovereigns; the later Sovereign+ variant typically employs Garmin G5000 but that is not listed for this airframe. With a long-range capability of 2,847 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, this airframe is commonly employed on transcontinental and regional international missions from its Riverside, California base, balancing speed and cabin comfort. Maintenance and operational considerations include the twin PW306C engine support network and typical mid-life avionics and interior refurbishment cycles for aircraft of this vintage.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid-size, transcontinental business jet niche offering higher payload-range and cabin comfort than smaller light jets while remaining more cost-efficient to operate than large-cabin types. Competing models in its era include offerings from Bombardier and Gulfstream’s smaller lines, with buyer demand driven by charter operators and owner-operators seeking runway performance and airport flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2005 Sovereign like N966JM include inspection status and compliance with PW306C engine overhaul schedules, interior refurbishment, and avionics upgrade potential when comparing market value against newer Sovereign+ equipped aircraft.
