Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N12NS, a light business jet manufactured in 2020 identified as Cessna 525 Citation M2 with serial number 525-1063. The aircraft is owned by Precision Equipment Leasing LLC (an LLC), and the registration is listed as US. Public registry entries and notable transfer events for this specific tail are not published beyond the recorded ownership; maintenance- and condition-specific data beyond the factory year are not available. Market valuation data attached to this airframe lists a current value of $4,500,000, reflecting a relatively recent 2020 build in the light-citation leasing segment.
The cabin of N12NS is outfitted in a center‑club executive layout for 5 passengers, including a right‑hand side‑facing seat and an aft belted lavatory, a configuration optimized for short to medium business missions and charter flexibility. Avionics are a Garmin suite centered on Garmin G3000 (software 4.8) with Synthetic Vision, supplemented by a Garmin GTS 855 TCAS I, Class B TAWS, and GWX-70 weather radar, providing modern situational awareness and safety margins for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration and range focus on regional point-to-point corporate travel up to approximately 1,550 nm or higher-frequency shuttle and leasing use; the twin Williams FJ44 engines deliver climb and cruise performance compatible with busy executive schedules. Maintenance considerations follow light-jet cyclic leasing patterns with emphasis on avionics software currency, engine inspection intervals on the Williams units, and lavatory/seat restraint checks given the aft belted lavatory installation.
The Cessna 525 Citation M2 sits in the light business jet class offering low-hour operating economics, single-pilot certification capability, and a modern Garmin cockpit that appeals to owner-operators and regional charter companies. With a cruise of 404 kts and a practical ceiling of 41,000 ft, it competes against models such as the Embraer Phenom 100/300 and HondaJet in mission flexibility and cabin arrangements, while maintenance of the Williams FJ44 series remains well-supported. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor late-production 2020 airframes for residual-value stability, which is reflected in the listed $4,500,000 valuation for this specific serial; resale and lease considerations focus on avionics log continuity, engine cycles, and recorded maintenance history.
