N52ZG

This entry documents airframe N52ZG, a 2015-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) with manufacturer serial number 525-0891. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Lift Aviation LLC, an Aspen, CO–based LLC, reflecting a single-entity ownership record tied to a Colorado operator. Factory configuration and avionics fit are consistent with the production 2015 M2 line; current valuation for this specific aircraft is listed at $3,795,000, and its condition is presented in registry notes as representative of a well-maintained light-cabin jet of its vintage. Notable registry actions are limited to the documented ownership by Lift Aviation LLC and routine U.S. registration status.

The cabin of N52ZG is fitted in a six-passenger club configuration with a forward side-facing seat and a belted aft lavatory, a typical layout for the M2 and the specific interior arrangement associated with this serial. Avionics aboard are consistent with the model’s typical fit of the Garmin G3000, supporting modern glass-panel procedures, synthetic vision, and integrated flight management tailored to single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Operated from Aspen, Colorado by Lift Aviation LLC, missions for this airframe commonly include short- to medium-range business and charter hops within a roughly 1,540-nm radius, leveraging the 404-kt cruise and high-altitude capability to access regional destinations quickly. Maintenance considerations emphasize the two Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines’ scheduled inspections and avionics software currency for the Garmin G3000 suite.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche, offering commuter and owner-flown performance with a 41,000-ft ceiling and efficient twin-engine cruise. Competing models in this segment typically include light jets from Embraer and Honda/other light-jet offerings, with buyer demand favoring aircraft that combine modern avionics (such as the Garmin G3000) with low operational cost—attributes reflected in N52ZG’s specification set. For resale and maintenance, the uniformity of the FJ44-1AP-21 engine fleet and common avionics fit support aftermarket liquidity; however, market values and demand remain sensitive to total time, maintenance history, and avionics upgrade status relative to contemporary Light Jet entrants.
