N54CY

This article covers the individual airframe bearing tail number N54CY, a 2017-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525B) with serial 525-0953. The airframe was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna Aircraft Company) and is owned by CD Pilot and Aircraft Management SD, LLC (operating / managed by Precision Aircraft Management), with corporate presence in Rapid City, SD / Englewood/Denver, CO, US. The aircraft is U.S.-registered and represents a late-production Citation M2 example configured and maintained for executive light jet operations; its reported market valuation is $3,950,000. The management arrangement with Precision Aircraft Management is the notable operating relationship documented for this specific airframe.

The specific cabin of N54CY is outfitted in an executive 5–6 passenger layout with a belted lavatory seat and a refreshment center, reflecting a configuration aimed at short- to medium-range corporate missions. Avionics for this airframe are provided by the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operations common in light-cabin business jets. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize point-to-point regional flights up to the aircraft’s 1,376 nm range and cruise speeds near 400 kts, operating from bases associated with the owner and manager in Rapid City and the Denver/Englewood area. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with Williams FJ44 turbofan support programs and Garmin avionics service networks as applicable to the model.

The airframe is a member of the Cessna Citation M2 family (Model 525B), positioned in the light-cabin, entry-level business jet segment where it competes on operating economics, cockpit modernity, and runway performance. With twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines and a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type serves buyers and charter operators seeking fast regional transport with low single-pilot workload enabled by the Garmin G3000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this particular serial hinge on the aircraft’s documented management regime and original-spec executive cabin; its stated value of $3,950,000 reflects its late-build year and installed equipment package.
