Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N918LP, is a 2020-built Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) with serial number 525-1058. The aircraft is owned by NEW CHAT AIR LLC (an LLC based in Chattanooga, TN, US), reflecting a single-party ownership recorded to a Tennessee-based business. The airframe carries United States registration and has an estimated market value of $4,500,000; no additional historic registry actions are published in the provided data. Condition highlights are limited to the build year and standard configuration information associated with this model year.
The cabin in this specific M2 is configured in the model’s typical executive arrangement, quoted as a 6–7-place layout (center four-place club, forward side-facing seat option, aft belted lavatory) while the aircraft is certificated for 8 seats; the airframe also features external baggage access. Avionics fit on this build is the production-standard Garmin G3000, with later-generation M2s offering Gen2 options such as Garmin autothrottle on newer builds. Typical mission profiles for this airframe class include short-to-mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter missions within the aircraft’s 1,550 nm range and high-cruise capability. As owned by a single LLC based in Chattanooga, operations are likely centered on that locale unless repositioned for charter or corporate use.
The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light-cabin, entry-level light business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability with cruise speeds around 404 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing platforms in this segment include other light jets emphasizing low operating costs and single-pilot capability. Buyer and charter demand for late-model M2s tends to favor examples with full Garmin G3000 suites and minimal cycles; resale considerations for this airframe would weigh the 2020 build year, factory avionics fit, and the documented ownership by NEW CHAT AIR LLC against market comparables.
