Aero Tech Aviation Design Announces Citation CJ Series Drip Pan Kits to Mitigation Corrosion and Costly Repairs
Grass Lake, Michigan, USA — October 13, 2026 — Aero Tech Aviation Design, LLC (ATAD), a manufacturer of FAA PMA-approved aircraft parts and provider of engineering, certification, and DER services, is pleased to announce availability of its FAA-approved Citation CJ Series Drip Pan Kits.
Designed specifically for Textron Citation CJ aircraft, these drip pan systems help protect aircraft structures from costly corrosion damage caused by lavatory blue-water leaks and spills.
ATAD's Citation drip pans are installed beneath the onboard lavatory and are engineered to capture blue-water spills while automatically draining fluids overboard after landing. This proactive protection helps prevent hidden moisture intrusion into fuselage seams, crevices, and structural areas where corrosion can develop unnoticed.
According to ATAD, undetected lavatory leaks can lead to extensive corrosion damage that may require major structural repairs costing aircraft owners between $250,000 and $500,000, along with significant aircraft downtime. The company's drip pan systems provide a simple, permanent solution designed to help operators avoid these costly repairs.
"ATAD's Citation drip pans are designed to provide long-term protection for the aircraft," said the company. "Operators can significantly reduce corrosion risks associated with lavatory leaks while protecting the long-term value of their aircraft."
