N829BC

The airframe bearing tail number N829BC is a Cessna Citation M2 manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. in 2017, serial 525-0951. The aircraft is registered in the US and owned by Berry Companies Inc (a corporation based in Wichita, KS, US). The airframe is certified for single-pilot operations and configured in an executive layout; its established valuation is $4,500,000. No other registry actions or operator changes are published beyond the current corporate ownership.

This specific Citation M2 is fitted with an executive cabin layout for up to 6–8 passengers with club seating options and a belted lavatory seat certified, allowing for increased flexibility in passenger carriage and small-group transport. The airframe carries a Garmin G3000 avionics suite and is single-pilot certified, enabling operations with reduced flightcrew on routine corporate missions. Typical missions for this aircraft profile include business short-to-medium range hops within the aircraft’s 1,540 nm range at cruise speeds near 404 kts, and regional repositioning flights from its owner’s base in Wichita, KS, US. Maintenance considerations center on dual Williams FJ44-1AP engines and the avionics commonality of the G3000, both of which influence scheduled inspections and part support for this tail-numbered airframe.

The Cessna Citation M2 family occupies a light-cabin, light-jet niche providing single-pilot certification, relatively high cruise speed, and modest long-range capability suitable for owner-operators and fractional/charter operators. Competition in this market segment targets similar light jets with comparable range and speed; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2017 airframe include engine time on the twin Williams FJ44-1AP engines and avionics condition of the Garmin G3000 suite. The documented valuation of $4,500,000 reflects its model class, year of manufacture, and executive interior options for corporate utility and charter demand.
