N823TF

This entry concerns airframe N823TF, a 2023-built example of the Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525), serial number 525-1158, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by HOTEL ROMEO LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company based in Nichols Hills, OK, US, reflecting a corporate ownership structure rather than private individual registration. The aircraft was completed in 2023 and carries a reported market valuation of $5,305,000; no additional historic registry actions are published beyond its current ownership record. Condition highlights are limited to the factory-standard equipment and contemporary build year that support a modern maintenance and resale profile.

The individual configuration for N823TF reflects the M2’s typical executive interior, noted as a 6–7-place layout with single-club seating and optional forward galley arrangements available from the factory; this airframe is described with that standard executive cabin flexibility. Avionics aboard the type are the factory-standard Garmin G3000, which supports modern glass-cockpit operations, advanced flight management, and single-pilot certification profiles commonly used in light business jet operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short-to-medium range business or charter hops within the aircraft’s 1,550 nm range at a high single-engine cruise of 404 kts, operating from regional bases consistent with its owner’s location in Nichols Hills, OK. Maintenance considerations align with Williams FJ44 turbofan support and Textron/Cessna service networks for contemporary Citation family aircraft.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche, offering an economical twin-engine platform with a 41,000 ft ceiling and transcontinental-ish legs up to 1,550 nm, appealing to owner-operators and light charter operators. Competing models in the segment typically include other very light jets and entry-level light jets that emphasize low operating costs, single-pilot capability, and modern avionics suites like the Garmin G3000. Buyer demand for 2023 examples such as 525-1158 is supported by up-to-date avionics and airframe freshness, while resale considerations focus on engine time on-wing for the Williams FJ44-1AP-21 pair and the aircraft’s documented corporate ownership, which can simplify commercial operation transferability.
