N516KM

The airframe registered as N516KM is a 2015-built Cessna 525 Citation M2 (manufacturer Cessna (Textron Aviation)) carrying serial number 525-0868. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by PICO CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS INC, a corporate owner based in Key Largo, FL, US; the airframe’s U.S. registration and corporate ownership are the primary recorded registry attributes. Valuation records place the aircraft at approximately $4,500,000, and its configuration and systems are consistent with the factory-equipped M2s of its build year. No public record of additional operators or ownership transfers is provided beyond the listed corporate owner.

The cabin for the Citation M2 is typically arranged in an executive, single‑pilot certified layout with 5–7 passenger seating; the specific seating layout for N516KM is not published. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter missions within its 1,540 nm range and high-speed cruise capability near 404 kts, operating from the owner’s base region around Key Largo, FL, US. Avionics fit on the model is consistent with a Garmin G3000 / Intrinzic flight deck as typical equipment, supporting modern single-pilot operations and integrated systems management. Routine maintenance considerations follow the M2’s factory schedules for twin Williams FJ44 engines and avionics lifecycle servicing.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering operator appeal through relatively low operating costs, a high cruise speed, and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the segment include other entry-level light jets that target owner-operators and small-corporate fleets; demand focuses on reliability, single-pilot capability, and avionics modernity such as the Garmin G3000 / Intrinzic suite. For aircraft like N516KM, resale and maintenance considerations center on engine time on wing for the Williams FJ44-1AP pair, avionics upgrades, and the market perception of ownership by a single corporate entity based in Florida.
