Its busiest month was April 2026, with 30 flights.

Its busiest month was April 2026, with 30 flights. It did not fly in November 2025. The record has 100 tracking gaps, so about one flight in 2 may be missing and every count is a minimum.

Chapter 01

Fatigue

Harsher than the type

What each landing and pressurization cycle costs the structure: landings per hour and short hops.

Utilization isn’t graded for N265CM: too few of its flights were tracked to count its use fairly, in the full report too. So its free chapter here is Fatigue, which doesn’t depend on catching every flight.

More landings for its hours. Harsher on fatigue.

Short legs put more pressurization cycles on the structure for the same time in the air. Worth checking its cycle-based inspection limits before a pre-buy.

Hours per landingHarsher
1.0 : 1

Against 1.3 : 1 for the middle Citation V Ultra (17th). More landings for its hours.

N265CM’s flying is spread across many routes. Its most-flown pair of airports carries 13% of flights, 20 of 157, counting both directions. Its top three pairs make up 21%, so about eight flights in ten go somewhere else. Of its 157 tracked flights, 2 (1%) crossed a border.

Chapters 02–04

Corrosion, engines and brakes, and utilization

02 Corrosion

Not graded: not enough data

Where does it spend its nights? Where a jet sleeps shapes how fast it corrodes. Salt and damp overnight are what an inspector looks at first.

Also graded: damp air, freeze–thaw, near the coast and moisture in the air. See this chapter in the sample report →

03 Engines and brakes

Close to the type

How hard were its airfields? Short, hot and high runways ask for more thrust on every takeoff and harder braking on every landing. That wear doesn’t show in the hours.

Short runways Lead metric
Departures where the longest runway was under 1.25× the takeoff distance

Also graded: hot, high takeoffs; density altitude; dust and dry climate. See this chapter in the sample report →

04 Utilization

Not graded: too few of its flights were tracked

How hard has it been used? Heavy use spends maintenance intervals faster; long spells parked bring their own wear. Both are worth knowing before a pre-buy.

About N265CM

How many hours does N265CM fly a year?

About 153 estimated hours in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026, across 157 tracked flights. Hours are estimated from time in the air, so the logbook has the exact figure.

How often is N265CM flown?

When did N265CM last fly?

It was last tracked in July 2026. We publish an aircraft’s flights seven days after they happen, and show them by month only.

Why don’t you show which airports N265CM uses?

We leave out airports, bases and exact dates on purpose. We show how an aircraft has been used, not where it goes.

What’s in the full TailCheck report for N265CM?

All four graded chapters (Fatigue, Corrosion, Engines and brakes, and Utilization), each against the tracked Citation V Ultras, plus the operational summary and operating rhythm, as a PDF, CSV and share link. It costs $395, or $995 a month for unlimited reports and Spotlight.

Method

How this page is made

Everything here comes from N265CM’s ADS-B track, the position signal aircraft broadcast, over the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026. ADS-B misses some flights, so every count is a minimum. Flights appear seven days after they happen, by month only, and hours are estimated from time in the air; the logbook has the real totals. Airports, bases and exact dates are left out on purpose. How grades work: each graded measure is placed among the tracked Citation V Ultras against the middle aircraft, the 50th percentile. Between the 25th and 75th it is typical; outside that band it is gentler or harsher. Fatigue is graded here for free; for the other chapters this page shows the middle value of the fleet and whether this aircraft sits inside the middle half or outside it. Their grades and values are in the report, not on this page. Owners and operators can ask us not to publish an aircraft’s activity.
