N77KN

This entry covers airframe N77KN, a 2014-built Cessna Citation M2 (525 M2) with manufacturer serial number 525-0821. The aircraft is owned by Alta Aviation LLC, a corporate owner based in Phoenix, AZ, and is U.S.-registered. No alternate operators or prior ownership transfers are recorded in the supplied data; the listed valuation for the airframe is $3,650,000, reflecting its status as a late-model, purpose-built light business jet. Registry notes and maintenance history beyond ownership and valuation are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of N77KN is outfitted in a center-club five-place executive layout with a right‑hand forward side‑facing belted seat and a left aft belted flushing lavatory, configured for short to mid-range business missions and executive transport. Avionics fit includes a Garmin G3000 intrinsic flight deck with Flightstream 510, dual GTX‑3000 transponders, TAWS, and TCAS I, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations and modern datalink connectivity for dispatch and flight-planning workflows. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize point-to-point corporate travel within the aircraft’s 1,550 nm range and cruise speeds near 404 kts, operating principally from the owner’s Phoenix, AZ base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on ensuring line compliance with Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engine cycles and avionics software updates for the Garmin G3000/Flightstream suite.

The Cessna Citation M2 (525 M2) occupies the light business jet niche as a single-pilot-capable aircraft offering turbofan performance, efficient short-field capability, and a modern integrated flight deck. Competing models in the same market segment include other entry-level light jets that prioritize operating economy, such as those from Embraer and HondaJet families; buyers typically seek lower acquisition cost and favorable operating economics. For operators and buyers of airframes like N77KN, maintenance and resale considerations focus on engine time, avionics currency, and interior condition—factors that directly affect value against the stated $3,650,000 appraisal.
