RADAR ESTIMATE

What N23NG is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation Sovereign+ on its own yet, so this borrows the Cessna Citation XLS+ curve, scales it to N23NG's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N23NG

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers airframe tail number N23NG, a 2014-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ with serial number 680-0527. The airframe is owned by Northrop Grumman Systems Corp, a corporation based in El Segundo, California, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s corporate ownership and U.S. registration frame its operational base and administrative oversight within the Northrop Grumman corporate flight structure.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Sovereign+ is configured for executive transport with an operator-specific layout featuring 8-9 place club seating, a refreshment center, and an enclosed lavatory, reflecting a typical corporate transport mission profile. Avionics fit for the model is commonly the Garmin G5000 in the Sovereign+ configuration, supporting advanced flight management and situational awareness for medium-haul business missions. With a long-range capability of 3,190 nm and a high cruise speed of 460 kts, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and transborder executive flights operated from its El Segundo corporate base. Maintenance and operational considerations follow the Pratt & Whitney PW306D engine maintenance program and Cessna/Textron support pathways common to the Citation Sovereign+ fleet.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign+ occupies the midsize, mid-to-long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental range, high-altitude capability to 47,000 ft, and a comfortable executive cabin for up to 9 passengers. Competing models in its class emphasize similar speed-range tradeoffs; demand generally favors corporate and charter operators seeking a balance of runway performance and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2014 airframe include lifecycle support for Pratt & Whitney PW306D engines and avionics commonality (Garmin G5000), factors that influence operating cost projections and marketability within the pre-owned midsize business jet market.
