N96HE

The airframe bearing registration N96HE is a 2011-built Cessna Citation Sovereign (Model 680) with serial number 680-0315. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by BRAVO AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Charlotte, NC, US, which appears as the operator/home base for this airframe. The registration reflects a single-entity corporate ownership structure typical of U.S.-based business aviation assets. Current valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $9,000,000, consistent with market values for similarly equipped Sovereigns of this vintage and configuration.

This airframe is configured in a nine-passenger executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, a typical arrangement for serials in this production block. Avionics are typically of the Honeywell Primus Epic-class on Sovereign listings, though fit can vary by individual aircraft; for this airframe the equipage is described in line with that common installation. Typical mission profiles for N96HE would include medium- to long-range business travel within the U.S. and transcontinental flights, leveraging a cruise speed of 459 kts and a range of 2,820 nm. Corporate ownership under BRAVO AVIATION LLC implies centralized maintenance arrangements and operator-controlled scheduling and upkeep.

The Cessna Citation Sovereign (Model 680) occupies a performance niche as a mid-size business jet combining transcontinental range with near-large-cabin comfort; this airframe’s capability to reach 47,000 ft and carry nine passengers suits executive transport and charter missions. Competing models in the same segment include other midsize jets offering similar speed and range, and buyers often weigh cabin amenities and maintenance history when comparing examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2011 Sovereign such as 680-0315 focus on engine time on the dual Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C units, avionics standardization (Honeywell Primus Epic-class fit), and the aircraft’s maintenance records under its corporate owner.
