N525HL

This article describes airframe N525HL, a 2013-built Cessna 525 Citation M2 with serial number 525-0808. The airframe is currently registered in the United States and is owned by M2 Logistics LLC, an LLC based in Morris, IL, US, which serves as the primary operator and home base for the type. As a 2013 production model the aircraft presents the characteristics of a first-decade Citation M2 airframe and avionics fit, and is assigned a market valuation of $3,500,000 based on contemporary appraisal inputs. Registry data indicates standard U.S. registration actions consistent with private corporate ownership and operation.

The cabin of N525HL is configured for a six-seat layout typical of the Citation M2 family, supporting short- to mid-range business missions and corporate shuttle operations. Avionics are equipped with the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, providing advanced touchscreen flight management, synthetic vision, and integrated systems monitoring for single-pilot or two-pilot operation. With a range of 1,300 nm and cruise of 404 kts, the aircraft is routinely employed on regional routings and point-to-point missions from its Morris, Illinois base, balancing speed and operating economics. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include typical engine and avionics support cycles associated with the Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines and the G3000 suite, and lifecycle planning is informed by its 2013 build year and serial 525-0808 tracking.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies a light-cabin, light-jet niche providing higher cruise speeds and altitudes than turboprops while retaining lower operating costs than larger business jets. For an airframe like N525HL, the combination of a Garmin G3000 fit, 2013 build year, and twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines supports steady buyer and charter interest in the pre-owned market. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its age, engine overhaul status relative to hours/cycles, and avionics currency; the listed value of $3,500,000 reflects those factors in the current fixed-wing multi-engine sector.
