Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N479RA, a 2024-built Cessna Citation M2 Gen2 (Model 525) with serial number 525-1175. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc and is registered in the United States to HUFF AIR LLC, an LLC based in Uvalde, TX, which serves as the operator/home base. The airframe carries a standard 6-place executive club with belted lavatory configuration and a total certified capacity of 7; its Garmin G3000 (GMC-710) avionics suite reflects the Gen2 avionics upgrade. As of the latest valuation the airframe is estimated at $5,192,118, reflecting its low-time 2024 build condition and modern equipment fit.
The cabin of N479RA is arranged in the standard executive club layout for six passengers with an additional belted lavatory position, yielding a certified capacity of seven. Avionics are provided by the Garmin G3000 (GMC-710) integrated flight deck, supporting modern navigation, situational awareness and single-pilot IFR operations. With a cruise speed of 401 kts and a range of 1,540 nm, this airframe is optimized for short- to mid-range business missions such as regional point-to-point charters, corporate trips and high-frequency owner-flown operations from Uvalde, Texas. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on Williams FJ44-1AP engine support and tracking of Gen2 avionics software/airworthiness directives as part of routine Textron-recommended programs.
The Cessna Citation M2 Gen2 (Model 525) occupies the entry-level light business jet niche, offering single-pilot certification, modern avionics and efficient Williams turbofans. Competing models in this performance bracket include other light jets offering similar speed and mission range; buyers seek the M2 Gen2 for its combination of Garmin G3000 avionics and favorable operating economics. For resale and maintenance, the 2024 build year and factory-new systems on 525-1175 enhance marketability, while continued value retention depends on engine maintenance records, avionics updates and overall utilization under the current owner, HUFF AIR LLC.
