Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N30NS, is a 2014-built Cessna 525 Citation M2 with serial number 525-0835. The airframe is owned by HILLTOP LLC, an LLC registered in Rye, NY, US, and is recorded on the U.S. registry; no other prior ownership or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data. Manufacturer details identify the airframe as built by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation); the listed market valuation for this specific example is $4,500,000, reflecting typical condition and equipment standards for the model year and configuration.

The cabin of this Citation M2 is described in operator-dependent terms as a typical executive layout carrying 5–6 passengers in standard corporate configuration, augmented by a belted lavatory seat and forward refreshment/galley provisions; the listed seating capacity for the aircraft is 8, accommodating a mix of passenger and crew seating. Avionics are fitted in the common M2 arrangement with a Garmin G3000 flightdeck installation, supporting advanced navigation and situational awareness for business and light charter missions. With a long-range cruise of 404 kts and a maximum practical range of 1,540 nm, the airframe is suited to regional and trans-regional point-to-point missions from its owner’s base in Rye, NY, with maintenance and operational considerations driven by twin Williams FJ44-series engines and typical light-jet support intervals.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering single-pilot capability, efficient Williams turbofan powerplants, and modern avionics in the Garmin G3000 fit. Competing types in the segment include other entry-level light jets that prioritize low operating costs, comfortable short-haul speed, and access to smaller airports. For this specific airframe, the combination of a 2014 build, common M2 avionics fit, and an asking valuation of $4,500,000 frames typical buyer interest from owner-operators and fractional/charter operators, with resale and maintenance tracking influenced by engine hours, avionics currency, and the condition of interior items such as the belted lavatory seat/galley installation.
