N131MS

The airframe bearing registration N131MS is a 2020-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0337. Manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc, this specific CJ4 is recorded to be owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s registry reflects corporate ownership under a trustee entity rather than an individual operator, and its assessed market value is $9,000,000. No public record of notable incidents or ownership transfers beyond trustee registration was provided in the supplied data.

This airframe is configured in an executive 8–11 passenger layout, featuring a forward divan, club seating, and reports from similar 525C examples indicate a belted externally-serviceable lavatory. Avionics fit is the typical CJ4 installation, the Collins ProLine 21, suitable for precision navigation and integrated flight management tasks common to the type. Given its range and cruise performance, typical missions for N131MS would include regional and transcontinental corporate flights from its home base area around Salt Lake City, optimized for point-to-point business travel and charter operations secondary to corporate transport. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44 powerplants and CJ4 systems-level checks; corporate trustee ownership may indicate managed maintenance programs or third-party operator arrangements rather than owner-pilot upkeep.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and range than earlier Citation light jets while maintaining single-crew capability in many operations. Competitors include the Embraer Phenom 300E and Pilatus PC-24 in certain mission profiles, though the CJ4’s cabin layout and payload-range balance make it attractive for corporate flight departments and charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2020 airframe center on engine time on the paired Williams FJ44-4A units, avionics configuration (ProLine 21), and the airframe’s documented corporate/trust ownership, all factors that influence operator transition and asset liquidity.
