N888LS

This entry covers airframe N888LS, a 2020-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) with manufacturer serial number 525-1048 produced by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by individual Ladd Sanger of Saratoga, WY, US; current records show this individual ownership without secondary corporate operator listings. The airframe carries a typical 2020-condition valuation of $4,500,000 and reflects a late-model Citation M2 specification set, including modern avionics and executive interior appointments. No public record of prior owners or notable registry actions beyond the current individual registration was provided in the supplied data.

The cabin of N888LS is fitted in a six-passenger executive layout as described in listing material: a 4-place club seating arrangement, a forward side-facing seat, and an aft belted lav seat, providing flexible seating for business missions and short group transport. Avionics are a Garmin G3000 suite with GDU-1400 displays, complemented by weather radar, TAWS, and TCAS provisions to meet contemporary single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operational requirements. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional executive transport and light charter work within its 1,540 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 404 kts, based out of its owner/operator location in Saratoga, WY. Maintenance considerations follow standard Citation M2 schedules for Williams FJ44-powered light jets, with avionics and interior configurations consistent with late-model buyer expectations.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light jet niche offering traditional Citation reliability, single-pilot capability, and efficient short-to-medium regional performance. It competes with other entry-level light jets for owner-operators and small charter operators seeking fast cruise speeds (~404 kts) and a transcontinental-ish range for the class (1,540 nm). Resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on engine time on wing for the Williams FJ44 series and completeness of Garmin G3000 avionics support; the listed valuation of $4,500,000 aligns with late-model, well-equipped M2 examples.
