N998CM

This entry concerns airframe N998CM, a 2018-built light business jet manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc as a Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) with serial number 525-0998. The aircraft is owned by TANGO KILO ENTERPRISES INC, a corporation based in Long Beach, CA, US, and is registered in the US. Registry and operator records indicate it carries a market valuation of $4,500,000; the airframe is presented in a model-typical configuration and retains factory-standard equipment levels for its build year.

The cabin in N998CM conforms to a typical six-passenger executive layout with single-pilot certification as provided for the model, while the aircraft is equipped to accommodate up to eight seats in various configurations. Avionics fit on this airframe is the integrated Garmin G3000 suite, supporting modern flightdeck capabilities and single-pilot operation. Operated from the owner’s Long Beach, California base, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range corporate missions within its 1,550 nm ferry range and high-speed cruise capability of 404 kts. Maintenance considerations follow model-typical schedules for the Williams FJ44 engines and factory systems, with avionics support concentrated on Garmin G3000 lifecycle updates.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) family occupies the light-cabin, single-pilot-certified business jet niche, offering relatively low operating costs and access to smaller airports compared with larger-cabin types. With twin Williams FJ44-1AP-21 powerplants and a 41,000 ft service ceiling, the type competes with other light jets in buyer and charter demand for regional executive transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2018 airframe reflect steady market interest in well-equipped, single-pilot-certified specimens and the impact of avionics and engine maintenance status on valuation.
