N986PR

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N986PR, a 2015-built example of the Cessna 525 Citation M2 with manufacturer serial 525-0886. The aircraft was produced by Textron Aviation Inc. and is registered in the US; the current registered owner is EDWARDS AIR LLC, an LLC based in Paducah, KY, US — the registration shows an 8‑seat entry for this airframe. The airframe carries a market valuation of $4,500,000 and exhibits the typical executive configuration and certification for single-pilot operations; no other public registry actions are noted in the supplied data.

The airframe is outfitted in a Typical M2 executive layout, certified for single-pilot operation and described as accommodating 4–6 passenger executive seating in common interiors, although the aircraft registration for this example records an 8‑seat entry, and it retains forward and aft baggage compartments. The flight deck is fitted with a Garmin G3000 integrated avionics suite, supporting modern glass-panel workflows and single-pilot IFR capability. With a design cruise near 404 kts and a range around 1,550 nm, typical missions for this airframe include short- to mid-range corporate trips, point-to-point executive transport from its operator base in Paducah, KY, and on-demand regional charter or owner-flown profile. Maintenance considerations align with Williams FJ44-series engine support and Garmin G3000 avionics upkeep customary to the model.

The Cessna 525 Citation M2 sits in the light business jet niche, offering turbofan efficiency and single-pilot certification attractive to owner-operators and small charter operators. With twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines producing 1,965 lbf each, the M2 competes with other light jets in its class on speed, range, and operating economics. Strong demand persists for well-equipped, low-time G3000‑equipped M2s in the pre-owned market, and resale considerations for this airframe will reflect its configuration, the recorded 8-seat registration, engine/avionics status, and the stated valuation of $4,500,000.
