The cabin of this specific M2 is fitted in a typical executive six- to seven-place club configuration with an additional belted lavatory/observer seat and a forward refreshment center, providing flexible seating for up to 8 occupants. Avionics are installed as a Garmin G3000 suite, supporting operator flight planning and automated flight management consistent with single-pilot or dual-pilot light-jet operations. Based from the owner’s location in Santa Fe, NM, the aircraft’s 1,540 nm range and 404 kt cruise speed suit regional point-to-point missions, business travel, and short-notice charter-type operations. Maintenance and operational considerations align with Williams FJ44 engine programs and factory-recommended inspections for the Model 525, with no additional airframe-specific maintenance items published here.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light-jet niche, offering transregional performance with a high single-pilot capability ceiling of 41,000 ft and efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion. Competing aircraft in this class typically emphasize low operating cost, modern avionics like the Garmin G3000, and flexible cabin layouts similar to this M2’s executive club configuration. Buyer and charter demand commonly focus on late-production examples such as this 2017 airframe, where resale value and dispatch reliability are influenced by total time, maintenance status, and factory equipment; the stated valuation of $3,985,000 reflects its position as a relatively recent Model 525 specimen.
