N979TX

This entry covers airframe N979TX, a 2017-built example of the Cessna 525 Citation M2 with manufacturer listed as Textron Aviation Inc and serial 525-0979. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is registered to 11 NINER AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, which serves as the operator/home base for its documented operations. No further registry actions are published beyond its current ownership and U.S. registration. The airframe is valued at $4,500,000 and represents a late-model light-citation asset in well-maintained, typical executive configuration.

The interior of N979TX is fitted in a typical executive arrangement: a six‑place club layout with a belted lavatory and the capability for occasional 7–8 passenger seating, matching common M2 cabin fits. The flight deck is equipped with the typical Garmin G3000 integrated avionics suite for the M2 series, supporting modern glass‑cockpit operations and advanced flight management. Typical missions for this airframe include short to mid‑range business and charter flights up to its 1,550 nm ferry/range capability, operating from its owner/operator base in Wilmington, DE. Maintenance considerations are consistent with a 2017-model light jet powered by twin Williams FJ44 engines, emphasizing scheduled inspections, avionics software updates for the G3000 suite, and adherence to OEM service intervals.

As a member of the Citation M2 family, Cessna 525 Citation M2 airframes occupy the light-citation niche combining high cruise speed and efficient short-field performance, reflected by N979TX’s 404 kt cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling. Competitors in this segment typically include other entry-level light jets offering similar range and eight‑seat configurations. Buyer and charter demand for a 2017 M2 centers on owner‑operators and small charter operators seeking modern avionics and low operating costs; resale and maintenance profiles are influenced by engine time on the twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 powerplants and adherence to manufacturer service records.
