Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N155BW is a 2018-built light business jet, a Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) with serial number 525-0988. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by POET INC, a corporation based in Sioux Falls, SD, US. The airframe's recent documented valuation is $5,800,000, reflecting its late-model status and typical market positioning for certified pre-owned light jets. No other public registry actions or prior owners are listed in the supplied data beyond the current corporate ownership; the machine appears maintained for corporate operations under its present operator.

The interior of this specific M2 is configured for six passengers with a forward side-facing seat and four club seats, complemented by a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory, a layout that supports short- to mid-range corporate missions and light charter work. The avionics fit for this airframe is the integrated three-screen Garmin G3000 suite with GTC controllers, enabling advanced flight management, touchscreen controls and enhanced situational awareness for single- or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include regional business trips within a 1,500–1,600 nm range and high-frequency point-to-point travel from a corporate base; for POET INC this likely supports personnel movement between regional facilities. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44 turbofan support networks and Garmin avionics service cycles; the aft belted lavatory and galley require routine interior servicing consistent with corporate usage.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the entry-level light jet niche, offering efficient short-field performance and cruise speeds around 400 kts with a 41,000 ft service ceiling. It competes with aircraft such as versions of the Embraer Phenom 100 and light variants of the HondaJet in owner-operator and charter markets, providing a balance of operating costs and capability. Demand typically centers on owner-operators and small corporate flight departments; resale considerations for this 2018 airframe include engine time on the Williams FJ44-1AP-21, Garmin avionics condition, and interior wear consistent with a six-seat corporate layout.
