N917AP

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N917AP, a 2016-built Cessna 525 Citation M2 with serial number 525-0917. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by SIERRA MANAGEMENT LLC, an Arizona-based limited liability company located in Prescott, AZ, US. The airframe's documented market value is $4,500,000, and its registry reflects typical owner-operator titling for a small corporate-managed light jet. No public record of earlier owners or notable incidents is provided in the supplied data.

The cabin on N917AP is fitted in a typical Citation M2 layout configured for 6–8 passengers in a club/club arrangement with a belted lavatory seat and a small forward galley, supporting short to medium-haul corporate or owner-flown missions. Avionics are from the Garmin G3000 family; the airframe may be equipped with Gen1 or Gen2 displays, with autothrottle capability available if fitted with Gen2 or later options. With a cruise speed of 404 knots and a range of 1,540 nautical miles, the aircraft is well suited for regional point-to-point travel and on-demand charter legs from its Prescott, Arizona base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect standard light-jet type care, including attention to the twin Williams FJ44 series turbofan engines and avionics upgrade pathways.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 occupies the light jet niche balancing efficiency and operating economy against higher-performance midsize jets. Competing models in its class typically include other entry-level light-cabin jets that prioritize short-field performance and lower hourly costs. For prospective buyers or charter operators evaluating N917AP, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine hours, avionics generation (Gen1 vs Gen2), and the documented ownership and maintenance history held by SIERRA MANAGEMENT LLC. Its valuation at $4,500,000 positions it within expected market levels for late-model Citation M2 airframes.
