Model & Market Context
This article covers airframe N545LS, a factory-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) completed in 2014 with serial number 525-0840. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US; ownership timeline not published. Operator and home base details are not publicly disclosed in the supplied data, and there are no specific registry actions or valuation notes provided for this particular airframe in the dataset.
The cabin on this airframe follows the typical factory executive layout with a 6–7 place configuration: a center four-place club with a forward right-hand side-facing seat and a belted lavatory, reflecting standard executive-fit mission capability. Avionics are provided by Garmin G3000, supporting glass-cockpit situational awareness and integrated flight management suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. Typical missions for an aircraft with these specifications include short- to mid-range point-to-point executive transport within the aircraft’s 1,550 nm range and high-speed cruise at about 404 kts, operating to flight levels up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow manufacturer schedules for the twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines and Garmin avionics, but no unique maintenance history for N545LS is provided.
The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light business jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering turbofan-powered, short- to mid-range executive transport with modern avionics and a compact executive cabin. With twin Williams FJ44 engines producing approximately 1,965 lbf each, the type targets owner-operators and charter operators seeking a balance of cruise speed (404 kts) and reachable range (1,550 nm). Resale and maintenance considerations generally follow fleet norms for the Citation M2 series—sustained demand from owner-operators and charter fleets, routine engine and avionics maintenance cycles, and typical market competition within the light-jet segment.
