N28FD

This airframe, registered as N28FD, is a 2014-built Cessna 525 CitationJet M2 with serial number 525-0822. The airframe is owned by PACIFIC AIR CENTER LLC, an LLC based in Long Beach, California, US, and the aircraft carries US registration and operation from that home base. The airframe is single-pilot certified and equipped in a configuration consistent with light executive jet operations; no other ownership changes are recorded in the provided data. The listed market valuation for this aircraft is $4,500,000, reflecting its model year, systems fit and typical condition for a 2014 Citation M2.

The cabin of this specific Citation M2 is outfitted in a typical executive 5–7 place layout, with the aircraft certified for a single pilot and the option of a belted lavatory seat contributing to the total rated seating capacity of 8. Avionics are provided by the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern glass-cockpit single-pilot IFR operations and enabling efficient dispatch on business and charter missions. Based at Long Beach, California under ownership of PACIFIC AIR CENTER LLC, the M2’s mission profile commonly includes short-to-medium regional hops, point-to-point executive transport and time-sensitive charters within the aircraft’s 1,540 nm range and high-cruise capability. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with Williams FJ44 engine support and avionics lifecycle management typical to the G3000 installation.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet M2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and cabin amenities than older CJ models while remaining affordable compared with midsize jets. Competing models in the same segment include light jets from Embraer and Honda/other small-cabin types, where buyers and charter operators prioritize single-pilot certification, low operating costs, and runway performance. Resale and maintenance outlook for a 2014 M2 like N28FD hinges on engine time, avionics condition and completion options; the Garmin G3000 fit and Williams FJ44 engines generally support healthy demand in the pre-owned market when those items are well maintained.
