Model & Market Context
This entry concerns airframe N878RC, a 2016-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) with serial number 525-0914. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. The airframe carries a listed market value of $4,395,000 and features a corporate-style outfitting and avionics fit consistent with light business jet operation. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the current corporate trustee registration are published for this airframe.
N878RC is outfitted with a cabin layout that includes five passenger seats plus one belted lavatory seat, described as a four-place club plus a single side-facing seat, with a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory. The aircraft’s avionics suite is the Garmin G3000 integrated package, featuring the Garmin GFC-700 AFCS, GIA-63W radios, TCAS-I GTS-855, and GWX-70 weather radar, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot business operations and enhancing situational awareness on short- to mid-range missions. With a 1,300 nm range and 404 kt cruise speed, typical operations for this airframe are regional business travel, light charter, or corporate positioning flights from its owner’s base in North Salt Lake-area operations. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with light-jet schedules for Williams FJ44 engines and Garmin G3000 avionics, with corporate ownership often implying contracted maintenance tracking.
The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light business jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, efficient Williams FJ44 powerplants, and modern Garmin G3000 cockpit technology. Competing models in this segment include other entry-level light jets that emphasize low operating costs and short-field capability; the M2’s 1,300 nm range and 404 kt cruise place it squarely in regional executive travel demand. Buyer and charter interest typically emphasizes reliability of the FJ44 series, Garmin avionics commonality, and well-documented maintenance histories; resale considerations for N878RC will reflect its 2016 vintage, corporate ownership, avionics fit, and the listed valuation of $4,395,000.
