This specific airframe is outfitted with a typical 5–6 place executive layout configured for single‑pilot certification, incorporating a forward refreshment/galley and provision for external baggage. The installed avionics suite is a Garmin integrated flight deck (Garmin G3000-class), supporting advanced glass‑cockpit automation, situational awareness, and single‑pilot operational workflows. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short‑to‑medium range executive point‑to‑point trips within the aircraft’s 1,540 nm range and regional charter legs at cruise speeds near 404 kts, often operating to airports with moderate runway lengths while exploiting a service ceiling up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations follow the Citation M2 program and the Williams FJ44 engine maintenance intervals; specific entry-into-service and maintenance-status records for this airframe are Not published.

The Cessna Citation M2 (525) occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering a balance of single‑pilot certification, efficient Williams turbofan power, and modern Garmin integrated avionics. In its performance bracket—cruises around 404 kts, range of 1,540 nm, and ceiling 41,000 ft—it competes with other light jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Honda (entry-level Phenom and HondaJet families). Buyer and charter demand typically values proven dispatch reliability, single‑pilot operational economics, and avionics capability; with a listed value of $4,500,000, resale and acquisition considerations hinge on maintenance records, avionics upgrades, and total time on the airframe and engines for this specific serial 525-1400.
