N731DC

This airframe, registered as N731DC, is a 2019-built Cessna Citation M2 (525) with serial number 525-1039. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is owned by SUNSHINE AVIATION LLC of Jackson, TN, US. The registry indicates single-entity ownership without recorded third-party operators in the provided data; no interim ownership transfers are listed. The airframe is presented in a single-pilot certified configuration with an estimated market value of $4,000,000.

The aircraft features a center‑club main cabin seating arrangement with a belted aft flushing toilet and is noted as having had a 5‑place layout listed on a prior interior configuration. It is equipped with a Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck and is certified for single‑pilot operations, which supports owner‑operator use or light charter under appropriate regulatory frameworks. Typical mission profiles for this specific airframe would include short‑to‑mid‑range business trips within the continental United States from its base in Jackson, Tennessee, leveraging a cruise speed of 404 kts and a practical range of 1,550 nm. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on two Williams FJ44 series turbofans and Garmin G3000 avionics lifecycle items, with crew training focusing on single‑pilot automation management.

The Cessna Citation M2 (525) occupies the light business jet niche, offering owner‑operator simplicity with twin FJ44 powerplants and single‑pilot certification. Competing models in the segment include other light-cabin jets that prioritize runway flexibility and lower operating costs; the M2’s 404 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling keep it competitive for regional business missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical market dynamics: fly‑hour accumulation on the Williams FJ44 engines, interior reconfigurations (noted prior 5‑place listing versus current center‑club), and avionics support for the Garmin G3000 when assessing long‑term value and demand.
