N96PZ

This entry covers airframe N96PZ, a Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) serial number 525-0938 built in 2016 by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is owned by ASJ AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Dover, DE, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to ASJ AVIATION LLC in Dover, Delaware, the airframe's configuration and avionics fit give it a defined role within its operator's light executive transport fleet. As a mid‑2010s cabin-equipped Model 525, its estimated market value at the time of recording is $3,850,000, reflecting its year, systems fit and typical condition for a 2016 build.

The specific cabin in N96PZ is a six-passenger executive layout with a forward side-facing single seat, a four-place club configuration in the forward cabin, and an aft lavatory equipped with a belted flushing toilet; the airframe features an airstair entry for boarding. Avionics on this airframe are centered on the Garmin G3000 suite with GDU-1400 displays, a GIA-63W integrated avionics unit, GTX3000 transponders, GWX‑70 weather radar and FlightStream connectivity, providing modern situational awareness and connectivity for single‑pilot or two‑pilot operations. With a cruise of 404 kts and a range of 1,550 nm, typical missions for this airframe are short-to-medium executive point-to-point flights from its operator base in Dover, DE, emphasizing speed and accessibility to regional business destinations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on scheduled airframe inspections and the twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines, which drive operating economics and time-between-overhaul planning.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) as embodied by N96PZ combines relatively high cruise speed, a useful single-flight range and a modern Garmin G3000 avionics fit for connectivity and weather avoidance. Its twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines with 1,965 lbf thrust each contribute to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, supporting efficient enroute cruise profiles and access to higher‑altitude airways. For buyers and operators, considerations include residual value—here indicated by a reported $3,850,000 valuation—engine maintenance cycles, and avionics modernization status, all of which influence charter demand and resale prospects for a 2016‑built Model 525.
