N71FB

The airframe bearing registration N71FB is a Cessna 525 Citation M2 built in 2013 with manufacturer's serial number 525-0812. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by TELLING FREDERICK W, an individual based in Port Orange, FL, US; this ownership represents the primary recorded operator/home base association for the type record. The aircraft is powered by factory-specified turbofan engines and configured in a typical executive layout; its listed market valuation is $4,500,000. No additional registry transfers or notable airworthiness incidents are recorded in the provided dataset.

The cabin of this specific M2 is arranged in a typical seven-place executive layout suitable for single-pilot operation; forward and mid-cabin seating clubs are common and present in this configuration. Avionics for this airframe are installed as a Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern navigation, situational awareness and single-pilot IFR operations. Typical mission profiles for the airframe’s performance envelope include short- to medium-range corporate or owner-flown trips up to its 1,540 nm ferry/range capability and cruise speeds near 404 kts, operating from regional airports with business-oriented routings. Maintenance considerations align with light-citation turbofan service practices for the Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines and Garmin avionics supportability; the airframe’s U.S. registration and individual ownership suggest conventional Part 91 operating logistics and basing.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the light-citation segment as a modern, entry-level business jet derivative of the Citation family, optimized for owner-operators and small charter operations. With a cruise of 404 kts, a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and a 1,540 nm range, it competes with other light jets offering single-pilot capability and efficient turbofan engines such as similar small-cabin entrants. Buyer and charter demand typically centers on proven reliability, lower operating costs and avionics modernization—attributes reflected by the Garmin G3000 fitment and the Williams FJ44 engine type. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2013 vintage, serial 525-0812, and market valuation around $4,500,000, with lifecycle economics influenced by engine time, avionics updates and overall completion condition.
