This article describes a single airframe, registered as N514CK, a light business jet built in 2021. The airframe is a Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) with manufacturer designation Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) and serial number 525-1096. The aircraft is registered to KENVIC AVIATION LLC of De Armanville, AL, US, operating under a US registration; valuation records list the airframe at $4,600,000. No other documented ownership history or notable registry actions are published beyond the current ownership and basic valuation and condition highlights.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in an executive 6-place typical layout with club seating and includes the belted lavatory option, a layout aimed at short- to mid-range business missions. Avionics are provided by the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern situational awareness and pilot workload reduction for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. With a maximum cruise near 404 knots and a practical range of 1,550 nautical miles, typical operations would encompass regional point-to-point business travel and on-demand charter missions from its base in De Armanville, AL, US. Maintenance considerations follow light jet norms for the Model 525 line, with engine type and integrated avionics driving scheduled inspections and software/avionics updates.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light-jet niche, offering turbofan performance and cabin comfort for small corporate flights and owner-operators. With twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines producing 1,965 lbf each, the type competes against similarly sized light jets in range, speed, and operating economics. Buyer and charter demand typically focuses on reliability, single-pilot capability enabled by the Garmin G3000, and low-hour airframes for resale value; this airframe’s 2021 build date and valuation at $4,600,000 are relevant metrics for maintenance planning and market comparables.
