Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N1205Z is a Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) built in 2018 with serial number 525-0985. It is recorded as owned by 198GB LLC, a limited liability company based in Asheboro, NC, US, and the airframe carries United States registration. Public records do not detail extensive registry events or transfers beyond the recorded ownership; no additional notable registry actions are published. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the available data.
The cabin of the type is typically arranged in an executive center-club layout and supports various 4–6 passenger club configurations with an aft belted lavatory; the exact interior fit for N1205Z is not publicly detailed. Avionics fit for the model is commonly the Garmin G3000, which supports modern glass-flightdeck capabilities, automated flight management and enhanced situational awareness typical of light business jets. Operated from an owner based in Asheboro, NC, US, missions for this airframe would typically include short- to mid-range business travel within the continental United States, leveraging the aircraft’s cruise speed and range for regional point-to-point flights. Standard maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect twin Williams FJ44-series engine support and Garmin avionics common to the M2 fleet.
The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the fixed-wing light business jet segment, offering efficiency, a 404-knot cruise and transcontinental-short capability with a 1,550 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling. It competes with similarly classed light jets in owner-operator and charter markets where cabin flexibility, operating economy, and modern avionics such as the Garmin G3000 drive demand. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe type typically focus on engine time on the Williams FJ44-1AP units and avionics updates; pedigree details such as build year (2018) and serial (525-0985) are factors in market valuation and buyer scrutiny.
