N308NJ

This entry covers airframe N308NJ, a 2016-built Cessna 525 Citation M2 with serial number 525-0912. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by 22ASE LLC, an Aspen, Colorado–based limited liability company, which appears as the recorded owner on public registry entries. Registry records note the manufacturer as Textron Aviation Inc, and the aircraft carries an estimated market value of $3,650,000. The FAA registry lists an 8-seat configuration for this specific airframe, while the operator-standard cabin arrangement is a center-club executive layout.

The cabin for this airframe is described as the manufacturer-standard center-club executive layout, typically accommodating five passengers in a center-club arrangement with a belted lavatory seat; the FAA registry explicitly lists 8 seats for this airframe. Avionics fit is the Garmin G3000 Intrinzic flight deck installed by the factory, providing integrated flight, navigation and systems management for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this Citation M2 type include short- to medium-range executive transport and regional hops consistent with a 1,540 nm range and 404 kt cruise, often operating from Aspen-area bases given the registered owner’s location. Maintenance considerations reflect light twin-jet support for Williams FJ44-series engines and the factory Garmin avionics suite.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the light business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering efficient short- to mid-range performance and single-pilot certification options. Competing models in similar mission roles include other light jets that prioritize runway performance and operating economics; the M2’s 404 kt cruise and 1,540 nm range are characteristic selling points. Buyer and charter demand for clean, late-model M2s remains tied to engine support for the Williams FJ44-1AP-21 and the desirability of factory Garmin G3000-equipped cockpits; resale values for airframes such as N308NJ are influenced by total time, maintenance status and the documented 8-seat registry configuration.
