Model & Market Context
This specific airframe, tail number N85SC, is a 2015-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) with serial number 525-0898. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Struthoff Co Inc, a corporation based in San Antonio, TX, US; registration and ownership are recorded on the FAA registry under that corporate name. The example is notable as a late-production 2015 M2 example fitted with the Garmin integrated avionics suite and retains typical light business jet valuation metrics for its model year; current estimated value is $4,500,000. No public notes of significant registry actions or changes in operator beyond the listed corporate ownership are provided.
The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a center‑club executive layout with a forward side‑facing seat and a belted lavatory, representing a typical 5–6 passenger executive fit while the FAA registry lists up to 8 seats for this serial. Avionics on the airframe are the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, including synthetic vision, WAAS GPS, and ADS‑B out, supporting modern IFR and situational awareness requirements. Operationally this airframe’s performance — with a 1,540 nm range and 404 kt cruise — suits short- to mid-range corporate missions, owner flights, and light charter operations from its San Antonio home base. Maintenance considerations follow the M2 program and Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engine support networks common to this model.
The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the entry-level light business jet niche, offering owner-operators a balance of single-pilot capability, efficient Williams FJ44 powerplants, and Garmin G3000 advanced avionics. Competing models in the segment include other light-cabin jets that emphasize single-pilot operations and lower operating costs; demand is strong among private corporations and charter operators seeking short‑to‑medium range capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical factors for a 2015 M2: engine program enrollment, avionics condition, and interior configuration, all of which influence transaction pricing around the stated $4,500,000 valuation.
