N188SB

This airframe, listed as N188SB, is a 2015 build of the Cessna 525 Citation M2 with serial number 525-0879, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by HIGH FLYERS LLC, an LLC based in Hobbs, NM, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the type certificate and typical operations. The airframe carries the factory single-pilot certification and the registry shows no additional publicized transfers or major registry actions beyond its current corporate ownership. Condition and valuation details have not been published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this airframe is outfitted in a 7-place executive layout with the factory option for a forward belted lavatory and is certified for single-pilot operation, matching the M2’s role as a light business jet for owner-operators and on-demand charter. Avionics are installed as a Garmin G3000 integrated flightdeck, supporting modern situational awareness and single-pilot workload reduction for typical point-to-point missions. Typical missions for this aircraft, given its range and cruise, include regional business travel and short transcontinental hops within the continental U.S., often originating from the owner’s base in Hobbs, NM. Maintenance considerations follow the Williams FJ44 engine program and Garmin avionics support schedules standard to the model.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, single-pilot capability, and efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion for regional missions. With a cruise near 404 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type competes with other light jets in owner-operated and charter fleets where compact runway performance and modern avionics are valued. Resale and maintenance profiles for this airframe reflect common considerations for the series: engine program adherence, avionics updates for Garmin systems, and typical market demand driven by light-jet charter and owner-operator buyers.
