Cessna Citation Mustang for Sale

Aircraft overview

The Cessna Citation Mustang, also known as the Model 510, is a very light jet built by Cessna Aircraft Company as an entry point into the Citation business jet family. It first flew in 2005, received FAA certification in 2006 and was produced until 2017. The aircraft was designed for owner operators and small corporate flight departments needing a certified single-pilot jet with short field capability, modest operating complexity and true light jet performance. It matters in the used market because it combines Citation support infrastructure with a compact airframe that is easier to base, crew and manage than larger business jets.

Performance & specifications

Typical high speed cruise is about 340 knots, with published maximum operating altitude of 41,000 feet. Range is commonly quoted at about 1,150 nautical miles under NBAA IFR conditions, depending on payload, reserves, winds and operating profile. Maximum takeoff weight is 8,645 lb, placing the aircraft firmly in the very light jet category. Power comes from two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofan engines, each rated at 1,460 lb of thrust. The Mustang is known for straightforward systems, a relatively low cabin pressurization differential compared with larger Citations and the ability to operate into many regional airports when runway, weather and weight conditions allow.

Cabin & avionics

The standard cabin layout seats four passengers in the main cabin, typically in a club arrangement, with two crew seats up front. The aircraft is certified for single-pilot operation, so one cockpit seat may be counted in some seating descriptions, but the practical passenger cabin is a four seat space. Cabin height is modest, reflecting the aircraft’s very light jet role, with an enclosed aft lavatory on most aircraft. Avionics are centered on the Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck, including large displays, digital engine indication and an integrated autopilot. Many used examples may have WAAS, LPV approach capability, synthetic vision or other service bulletin and software updates, so avionics status should be checked by serial number and logbook review.

Buying & value

Prospective buyers should focus on engine program status, hot section and overhaul planning, Garmin G1000 software configuration, service bulletin compliance, corrosion inspections, damage history and total landings as well as total time. Interior refurbishment, paint age and lavatory condition can materially affect buyer appeal. The main model is the Citation Mustang itself, rather than a family of major variants, although individual aircraft differ by options and avionics upgrades. In the used market, it typically sits below larger light jets such as the Citation CJ series, appealing to buyers prioritizing acquisition cost and single-pilot efficiency. Current PlaneFox listing data shows an average asking price around EUR 1,690,000, with observed asking prices from EUR 1,340,000 to EUR 1,990,000.
