N5LM

This entry covers airframe N5LM, a 2023-built Cessna 525 Citation M2 with manufacturer's serial 525-1159. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by the corporate trustee S2 AVIATION INC TRUSTEE of Wilmington, Delaware; ownership is held by a corporate trust rather than an individual operator. The airframe carries modern executive outfitting and Garmin integrated glass avionics, and its market valuation is listed at $5,800,000. Registry records show a current operator/home base consistent with U.S. corporate operation; no public record of prior civilian operators is published in the supplied data.

The specific cabin of N5LM is documented as a typical executive arrangement seating six to seven passengers, complemented by a forward side-facing seat and a belted lavatory; the Federal Aviation Administration registry lists a total of 8 seats for the airframe. Avionics are fitted with a Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern glass-cockpit operational capabilities and single-pilot certification in many mission profiles for the M2 family. Typical missions for this airframe class include short to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter flights within a U.S. operational base, leveraging the 1,550 nm range and a cruise speed near 404 knots. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet schedules for Williams FJ44-series turbofans and Garmin avionics lifecycle support; any unique amenities are limited to the cabin configuration described in registry notes.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the entry-level light business jet market, offering single-pilot capability, efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion, and a cruise/ceiling balance suitable for regional missions. Competing models in this niche include other light jets that emphasize low operating costs and short-field performance. Demand among buyers and charter operators typically favors late-model examples such as this 2023 airframe for reduced time-between-overhaul exposure and modern avionics; resale and maintenance considerations reflect the M2’s established support network through Textron Aviation and aftermarket services for the FJ44 engine family.
