Cessna Citation Sovereign 680

Overview: Citation Sovereign 680

The Cessna Citation Sovereign is an American mid-size business jet developed by Cessna. It is currently the second largest member of the Citation product line in terms of take-off weight, with only the Citation X having roughly 6000 lbs greater take-off weight. The Sovereign is considered a transcontinental aircraft with the capability to fly from Los Angeles to Hawaii greater than 98% of the time, while complying with ETOPS requirements, and is used primarily for corporate travel.

The Sovereign is based on the Excel’s fuselage and shares some common systems but features an all-new wing and numerous other differences.

The Sovereign is equipped with a Honeywell Epic CDS avionics suite, with four 20 x 25 cm color flat panel liquid crystal displays, a digital dual channel autopilot and flight detector, dual long-range navigation systems, and dual attitude/heading reference systems. Other standard equipment will include TCAS and an EGPWS (enhanced ground proximity warning system).
