RESEARCH NOTES
About N181CN
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This article covers airframe N181CN, a factory-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 completed in 2011 with serial number 525C0040. The jet was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US, operated on corporate registration by Contrails II Inc, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE. The ownership record for this airframe is straightforward, with no multiple recorded transfers publicly noted beyond the corporate registration; no extraordinary registry actions are documented in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published within the provided dataset.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin of N181CN is fitted in an executive configuration supporting an 8-10 passenger executive layout with an enclosed lavatory and delineated forward and aft cabin zones, reflecting typical corporate interior planning for the CJ4. Avionics fit for this airframe follows the typical CJ4 installation with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck and Collins Venue cabin management system, supporting both operational situational awareness and passenger comfort. Based at the operator’s corporate home in Wilmington, DE, the aircraft’s performance envelope, long range and high cruise speed, suits point-to-point corporate missions, regional transcontinental hops within North America, and on-demand charter work. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet practices for the type: twin Williams FJ44-4A turbofans require operator adherence to manufacturer interval inspections and component shop visits consistent with the CJ4 program.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance end of the light business jet market, offering range and speed competitive with later-generation light jets. Competing models in its class include variants of the Embraer Phenom series and other light-cabin Citations; buyers prioritize a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance and operating economics. For resale and maintenance, the CJ4 benefits from commonality with the Citation family and established support from Textron, though values and market demand depend on maintenance history, avionics fit, and interior configuration as exemplified by this corporate-fitted airframe, N181CN.
