N898GT

This entry describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N898GT, a factory-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) completed by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) in 2020 with serial number 525-1059. The aircraft is owned by DDD AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Aberdeen, SD, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe carries a contemporary avionics fit and certification items typical of a 2020 delivery; its market valuation is listed at $4,500,000, reflecting its recent manufacture and equipment standard. No additional registry transfers or notable historic events are recorded in the supplied data beyond current ownership.

The cabin of this airframe is finished in a five-passenger executive layout featuring a center-club four-place executive club with a right-hand side-facing seat and a belted lavatory, allowing mixed passenger and occasional utility use on short to medium sectors. The flightdeck is equipped with a Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck; the installation includes synthetic vision, dual GTX transponders, and ADS‑B Out for compliance with contemporary airspace surveillance requirements. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 1,540 nm range and 404 kts cruise, include regional business trips and on-demand charter segments between mid-continent U.S. cities based out of its owner’s Aberdeen, South Dakota locale. Maintenance considerations reflect standard light-jet regimes for the model and attention to avionics software and transponder/ADS‑B serviceability.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies a light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche with efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion and a modern glass cockpit. Competing models in the segment include other entry-level light jets offering similar range and speed; demand typically centers on owner-operators and charter operators seeking low single-pilot operating costs and modern avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are supported by its recent 2020 manufacture date, factory pedigree from Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna), and the installed Garmin G3000 suite, factors that underpin the stated $4,500,000 valuation.
